Ivanhoe Mines LtdIVN.TOTOP PICKAug 06, 2013Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
Depends on if you're a speculator or investor. Electric has changed mining by using their Typhoon geophysical technology to apply to deposits around the world, so this is a spec buy. That technology could be game-changing. The Mines is far more senior with existing operations in Congo and South Africa, so it's an investment.
(A Top Pick March 5/13. Down 67.73%.) Risk is that there are a couple of large shareholders who have been in the stock for a long time and had to sell stock. Doesn’t think the market has worked off all that stock. 3 projects. 1) Platreef, the most important platinum discovery in 80 years. 2) Kamoa, an extraordinarily important copper discovery and 3) Kipushi, the worst deposit, is the highest grade copper/zinc mine on the planet. These are all run by Robert Friedland, the most successful mining entrepreneur of his generation.
