Mining: Phase One

Mining: Phase One is different from everything else we do here at Fat Tail Investment Research.

It’s only designed for a very small group of aggressive — but prudent — individuals who are looking for trade ideas in the most speculative end of the resources sector…exploration companies in the first stage of the mining stock lifecycle — ‘phase one’.

These kinds of stocks are near impossible to value because they generally have no existing resources and no revenues. As such, traditional forms of analysis are usually obsolete in this area.

To get an edge, you need to understand the rocks. As an experienced geologist, this is Editor James Cooper’s wheelhouse. His career spans 15 years working for some of the biggest and smallest resource companies in Australia and Africa.

His aim is to help you trade the next cyclical bull market in commodities using his personally developed system for investing in highly speculative, phase one miners.
