PIWORLD interview with Richard Greenfield: A Beginner‘s Guide to Mining Stocks
With inflation, resources used in electrification, and for new technologies, there may be more appetite for mining stocks from investors who normally avoid the sector. Here, Richard Greenfield, Co-Founder of Tamesis Partners, specialists in global mining and natural resources, shares how newbies can evaluate mining stocks.
This is a fantastic overview that may require a few listens; everything from the market overview, where we’re at in the cycle, to how to dip your toe into the sector. Some great nuggets such as, ‘mines are made, not found’, the people are key; and he recommends that the mine should be large enough to attract institutional interest. Of course, the investment hinges on NPV, IRR (greater than 20%); and as with all investments CAPEX, margins and returns.
Richard ends with three examples of mining sector stocks that he likes using the evaluation criteria outlined. This is superb. A sector not without risk, but with Richard’s guidance, you should be better armed to understand those risks and the factors you need to evaluate.
00:18 Introduction
01:00 Richard’s background & Tamesis Partners
03:30 What’s the composition of the global metals and mining industry?
05:06 How important is London v other exchanges?

10:45 Commodities are highly priced at the moment, will that continue? And what are the drivers?
14:45 How do commodities and equities move with each other?
18:17 What’s the best way for a newbie to play the sector?
22:39 When do you want to get into a mine?
25:57 What makes a good mine and how do you value it?
30:29 What is a good margin for a mine?
32:48 What’s the returns and success rate?
37:57 What are the risks to look out for?
40:41 Richard’s picks of the sector for your further research:
44:04 Tridant Royalties (TRR)

About Richard Greenfield
Richard qualified as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2003 before commencing an investment banking career in 2005, almost all of which has focused on the mining sector. While at Ambrian Partners Richard worked alongside Charlie Bendon as part of that firm’s Extel #1 ranked mining team, acting as Nominated Adviser to a large portfolio of junior and mid-tier companies and concluding a wide range of IPO, secondary financing and M&A transactions.

PIWORLD interview with Keelan Cooper: The IPO survival guide
Keelan Cooper, Financial Analyst at Stockopedia gives us the background and findings of The Stockopedia IPO Survival Guide. Fascinating evidence that small and micro cap IPOs bought on the first day of trading and sold around the sixth month after the IPO will give a better performance.
00:42 How Keelan got into investing and working at Stockopedia
01:53 Why did you decide to research IPOs & how did you go about it?
03:36 Are IPOs the opportunity to buy a multi-bagger.
04:37 Was there a correlation between management/PE staying in or getting out?
05:37 It looks like timing is the most important but what else should we be looking at?
06:45 How quickly do Stockopedia get IPOs listed, and how long does it take meaningful information for quality and value?
08:16 Wouldn’t you say that higher quality and valuation metrics and small-cap stocks do better for IPOs but wouldn’t that be the same for all stocks?
09:47 You mention aggressive IPO pricing and promotion, who are the main culprits?
10:32 What are the IPO changes proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
11:25 Do you have any tips to get in at the IPO price?
11:50 Do Stockopedia have any plans to list new IPOs?
12:20 You talk about Tech, Health, Financial and Energy have performed better than Consumer Cyclicals, Telecoms, and Utilities. Wouldn’t that be the case for the wider market anyway?
13:04 You say large cap international IPOs have been poor investments, did you find the same for international small cap and micro caps?
13:47 Were there additional findings in the report that didn’t make the final report?
15:02 IPOs coming up?
