Why are China and India will soon dominate the world – the American political class are doing something about it?

China Sourcing Commentator — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:28:26 +0000

If you look at some statistics from the U. S. Census organization, the CIA Fact Book, and several other credible sources and put them together in a “what-if” analysis regarding the future economic power of Russia, China, India, and the United States, you can develop the following statistical measures:

- The current population of the United States is about 310 million people, the 2050 estimated population is expected to grow about 42% to 439 million, the current GDP of the United States is about $14. 43 trillion dollars which yields a current GDP to current population ratio of about $46,561 per person ($14. 43 trillion divided by 310 million people).

- The current population of Russia is about 143 million people, the 2050 estimated population is expected to shrink 23% to 109 million people, the current GDP of Russia is about $1. 24 trillion, yielding a GDP to population ratio of about $8681.

- The current population of China is about 1. 34 billion people, the 2050 estimated population is expected to grow about 9% to 1. 46 billion people, the current GDP of China is about $4. 8 billion, yielding a GDP to population ratio of about $3,595.

- The current population of India is about 1. 2 billion people, the 2050 estimated population is expected to grow about 53% to 1. 81 billion people, the current GDP of India is about $1. 1 trillion, yielding a GDP to population ratio of about $925.

Not unexpected, the United States is the richest country in the world as measured by gross GDP and GDP per citizen. However, the growth of the United States economy is pretty steady and conservative vs. countries like China and India. Let’s play some games with these base numbers:

- Let’s say, and there is no reason to believe otherwise, that China is growing very quickly the next forty years. If China is able to GDP ratio to the population in order to obtain, as measured by the ratio of the current U.S. economy, the total size of China’s GDP (in current dollars) would be about 34 trillion U.S. dollars, almost two and a half times higher than the U.S. economy.

- Let’s do the same thing with India but assume that the ratio is so low that they can only get their ratio up to one quarter of what the current U. S. ratio is, then the total size of the Indian economy as measured by GDP (in today’s dollars) would be over $21 trillion, 50% larger than the size of the U. S. economy.

- We will not do the same analysis for Russia since given how fast its population base is shrinking, its economic impact in the world economy will be less and less over time.

Both the upside risks to the markets of China and India alone has a very high number of citizens from different countries and their governments want to aggressively grow its economy. Before we know it could approach both the economy and / or exceeds the size and power of the U.S. economy.

If you do not believe these calculations, consider a recent article from the Financial Times that was summarized in the July 30, 2010 issue of The Week magazine. According to the Financial Times, China is now the biggest consumer of energy, passing the United States last year as reported by the International Energy Agency. As late as the year 2000, the United States used twice the energy that China used. Now, China is using at least 4% more than us.

The second source. In a recent Fortune magazine feature, Goldman Sachs, estimates that by 2050 China’s economic size is approximately 70 billion U.S. dollars while the size of the U.S. economy is only about 40 billion U.S. dollars and are included just before the Indian economy. By 2050, Brazil, Russia, India and China in greenhouse gas emissions than the rest of the developed world.

All of these numbers point to the same conclusion: namely that China and India will become much, much stronger in the coming years and much more competitive, both for raw materials, finished products, and markets to sell their products. The United States needs to take some long term strategic actions in light of the coming tsunami of stronger economic rivals:

- We cannot hope to compete in the future economic landscape if we do not find a way to better educate our children for this new reality. The United States consistently ranks in the bottom half of worldwide student testing and education. This will not make for a strong economy if our workforce is outsmarted by other countries that also have the advantage of numbers on their side.

- We cannot hamstring our own economy with Obama’s cap and trade policy while the rest of the world, including the bigger and bigger energy users of China and India do not agree to stringent and trackable carbon emissions programs. If the United States goes it alone in this area, our economy will suffer at the hands of these economies that do not, resulting in lost jobs, lost industries, and lost economic strength since any carbon savings we incur will be overwhelmed by these new economic powers.

- We cannot continue to police the world, draining our economy through our military budget. Better to focus on getting our own economic house in order rather than deploying troops around the world to protect against enemies that do not exist anymore, enemies that cannot do any direct harm to us, or enemies that are better handled by other countries or the United Nations. We need to bring home our 54,000 or so troops from Germany since the Iron Curtain no longer exists, we need to bring home the 90,000 or so troops from Iraq as Obama the campaigner promised to do, we need to bring home our 50,000 or so troops from Japan since Japan is not going to hit Pearl harbor again and 50,000 troops are useless in the face of 2,000,000 Chinese troops in the neighborhood, and we need to bring home our 28,000 or so troops from South Korea and let them handle their own security, their economy is strong enough to handle it. Our focus on defense needs to be much more narrow and much more focused on those that could actually harm us and we need to bank the savings and strengthen those areas that will enable is to better compete economically.

- We need to finally develop and deploy a sane national energy program that makes us as self sufficient as possible, given that the hungrier economies of India and China will start to compete with us for raw energy sources. The less we spend on energy, as with defense, the better and stronger our economy will be against the onslaught of the growing economic powers in the world.

- We need to start getting our national debt and government spending problem under control now. The more capital and investment dollars that can be funneled into American businesses, the better off we can compete with China and India and the rest of the world. If all of our available capital is going to the government, where it is used on wasteful, inefficient government programs or used to pay the interest our national debt, the less flexible and competitive American businesses will be and less economic health our citizens will enjoy.

Bottom line, what is needed is a long term strategic plan for dealing with the new world order in the areas of national defense and economic strength. Do we think that the American political class is ready for such a comprehensive analytical and strategic task? Consider what our politicians have been working on over the past year or so:

- Congressman and his staff worked on legislation that would regulate the volume of commercials on TV. – Congressman and his staff worked for legislation that prohibits the ED to broadcast television commercials. – Congressman and his staff worked on legislation to offer tax incentives for pet owners who must leave their pets in these tough times may be. – The U. S. Congress and the Federal Republic of the financial regulatory system was completely blind-sided by the greatest economic malaise since the Great Depression, not knowing what was coming to W & # XFC RDE, until it hit them in the face . – Politicians in both houses of Congress worked in a bill to regulate the division, how to decide the college football teams in the national championship. – The current governor of New Mexico is working or not to pardon Billy the Kid, who died more than a hundred years. – Georgia congressman, at a public hearing of the Congress of the island of Guam may revoke the sea. – At least two people are likely to sit in Congress, faces ethics charges as soon as possible and the Chamber of Representatives of several tests of financial and ethical violations, E. – Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, has publicly insane notion that unemployment is the best way to create jobs.

As you can see, we have not elected the most forward thinking, strategic brains in the country. They are so entwined in the daily political infighting and just absolutely trivial matters that time is slipping away while other countries are quickly growing their economies to compete with us, our companies and our citizens.

If long term, strategic thinkers were running this country, they would not be working on the above trivial matters but instead would be focused on the following:

1st step – to begin reducing the size of the federal government by 10% a year for five years to get our national debt and spending under control, and more capital to leave the market for private investment compared to other economies.

Step 2 – find a way to finally make us more energy self sufficient and to bring other nations into a world wide, trackable process that reduces carbon emissions equally, not allowing any economy to gain an economic edge at the expense of others and the environment.

Step 3 – develop a ground up approach to overhaul, improve, and revolutionize American public education processes to prepare our kids for competition in the new economic world order.

Step 4 – bring home most, if not all, of our foreign deployed forces to begin the downsizing of our military budget in order to get our national debt under control and to provide capital to grow our private sector of the U. S. economy.

Step 5 – end the Cuban embargo immediately. After fifty years, most sane people would conclude it has not worked and ending the embargo would open up a new market for American businesses just ninety miles from our shores.

Step 6 – the most important step, institute term limit for all politicians. Given that none of these needed strategic steps have happened to make us better able to compete in the new economic reality and that most of the sitting politicians have been sitting in the same seats for decades while nothing happened, we cannot assume that all of a sudden they will do the right thing. We need to continually refresh those serving in Congress and the government with new people that are more fully aware of what is going on in the world and are not tied to old ways of thinking and spending.

We can succeed, we just need some visionary thinker and leaders to make it happen. India has its own problems, a large part of its population is still dirt poor, possibly providing social unrest problems unless they somehow can bring more people into their economic growth. The Chinese population will age quickly, as a result of their one child per family policy, putting strain on their economy in the coming years. All is not lost. In fact, if executed right, a long term strategic plan, as proposed above, could make the United States even stronger since new markets would open up in these growth economies. I guess the political class will get to this strategic plan as soon as the fix that pesky college football playoff system.

- We will not do the same analysis for Russia since given how fast its population base is shrinking, its economic impact in the world economy will be less and less over time.

Thus, the upside for both the Chinese and Indian markets are very high based on the sheer number of citizens in each country and their governments’ desire to aggressively grow their economies. Before we know it, both economies could be approaching and/or surpassing the size and power of the United States economy.

If you do not believe these calculations, consider a recent article from the Financial Times that was summarized in the July 30, 2010 issue of The Week magazine.

By 2050, Brazil, Russia, India, and China will exceed the greenhouse emissions of the rest of the developed world.

That does not make a strong economy and our workers to other countries, which also has the numbers on their side is outwitted.

- We cannot hamstring our own economy with Obama’s cap and trade policy while the rest of the world, including the bigger and bigger energy users of China and India do not agree to stringent and trackable carbon emissions programs. If the United States goes it alone in this area, our economy will suffer at the hands of these economies that do not, resulting in lost jobs, lost industries, and lost economic strength since any carbon savings we incur will be overwhelmed by these new economic powers.

Losers & Bigger Losers – Surveying the Latin American Mining Carnage

China Sourcing Commentator — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:43:38 +0000

Christopher Ecclestoneâ??s latest analysis of the effects of falling metals prices on the mining sectors and economies of the major Latin American nations.

Dramatic drop in metals prices could be one of the two. The first of these eventually boost the economy should be ruled out since 2002. Another would be restored to a temporary reaction to the liquidity crisis, with some semblance of normality in some but not all gloss, base metals in recent years has enjoyed. We believe that in recent years has not only economic upcycle “is the space of goods, but finally agreed to upcycle the lack of investment in mining has led to a severe supply-demand balance.

Metals are returning the age before 1973 when they had real value. They are no longer the poor relatives of the economic system. They are finite resources in a resource-limited world.

On the second point we would agree that the liquidity crunch produced massive distress that went to the core of even the most convinced commodity groupies. When push came to shove, the baby went out with the bathwater (if we can mix our metaphors).

While some commentators have grasped onto the Baltic Dry Freight Index as an indicator of impending doom, one can’t do much better in base metals than looking at LME, however imperfect and manipulable those numbers are. The key factor to note here is that stocks have really not gone ballistic as in the past when there has been a slump in demand. While they have moved up, and by sizeable percentages off their lows we would note that zinc going from a stockpile of three and half days of global usage to 4 days of global usage, scarcely ranks as a deluge of supply. The stocks are minimal compared to the “bad old days”. Some metals, like zinc and nickel are trading at “bad old days’” levels without the stocks reflecting any commensurate “collapse” in demand.

Call us conspiracy theorists but the commodity space has been one of the easy spaces to rig prices to send signals to the market. If one has a goal of pumping the dollar to produce a false sense of security when it should be plunging then is it easier to short gold using massive CB gold holding as the backstop for the shorts or spend hundreds of billions buying treasuries? In this case they seemed to do both and it worked. . . for as long as it works. It is a Sisyphean task indeed but indicative of the PTBs desperation.

On the other hand we have our old friends the Chinese working the metals prices for all they are worth. To buy cheap metal (like they have done in quick dumping operations over recent years)? No, to buy cheap miners. . it’s even better. Kill the metal and the owners of the mines will roll over to the minimal level of pressure when the Chinese (cnmining)come waving a checkbook (and a much thinner one than was waved at Peru Copper and Northern Peru Copper).

To believe current bad vibes out of China that production is slowing dramatically would also imply that one should be hacking Chinese growth expectations from a “modest” 10% to negative territory. No one is doing that, least of all the Chinese, so someone is speaking with forked tongue here.

So metals prices have been ground between the two millstones of two different sets of PTB.

LATIN AMERICAN MINING SECTOR

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Some countries are relatively unaffected by the metals price retreat. The ones largely immune, or unconcerned, are Argentina, Venezuela and Paraguay

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Brazil will see its nickel possibilities largely thwarted and faces a tough battle of the wills with China over iron-ore pricing. Gold prices are good enough (and the currency slump in the real large enough) that this activity should be sustainable.

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bolivia, Mexico and Peru are going to encounter social pressures because of the

important role that mining has in job creation and the sustaining of isolated communities.

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Mexico could do with more currency relief to help out miners on their average dollar production costs.

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Ecuador’s slowness in approving legislation means that the train has not left without it but has rather been permanently cancelled

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Peru is going to face big decisions once the Chinese come a’hunting after distressed Canadian-owned assets. They had better get some quick lessons in how to say “no” in Mandarin.

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Colombia is actually fairly well off. Coal prices remain firm and the internal dynamic means improved margins in this business rather than worsening margins. Gold is still in its formative stage there and so little was going on that the economic effect of lesser activity will scarcely be noticed

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â We remain bulls on metals prices. The liquidity splurge to solve the financial crisis is here to stay and has produced a tidal wave of money that is yet to hit shore. Precious metals in particular will be beneficiaries of this squandering of monetary resources without commensurate creation of assets to back the extra money supply.

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Base metals are subject to some brutal manipulation at the current time combined with a liquidity crunch. Basically once the non-trade players are removed (already achieved in our opinion) then the eternal supply/demand factors will come into play. Capacity is being closed down left and right with commensurate supply reduction. This lays the ground for price spikes and, further down the track, the derailing of so many projects means an even tighter supply situation two years out for almost all metals we could imagine.

Argentina

Frankly Argentina couldn’t give a damn about metals prices. Neither Bajo de la Alumbrera nor Cerro Castillo rank high in the thought processes of the Argentine economics ministry officials. The new mines coming on in the last year (Hochschild/MAI’s San Jose and Coeur’s Mina Marta amongst others) have added some small extra income and their start-ups have been graced, with enthusiasm, by the Kirchners (any peasant worth his salt has a perception of gold’s relevance).

However, Argentina will neither live nor die (nor boom or default) on the back of lower or higher metals prices. Indeed, a pause (strike?) by mining companies in their investment programs may serve to focus the minds of some of the provincial administrations that tried to play the role of dog-in-the-manger or experienced overnight conversions to Greenness. A few have been showing signs of relenting. . . our words to you. . too late!

Lets put this in some perspective. Argentina’s chief mining output has been gold and copper so far with a modicum of silver. The biggest project nearing completion is Silver Standard’s Las Pirquita’s in Jujuy. Silver is creeping back up. We perceive its problems were with its dangerously incestuous dependence for momentum upon the silver ETF (SLW). The panic selling cleared most of this crowd out and we feel a new ratio to gold is in the making. While the price has gone back above $10, we could see a firm gold price (trending towards $800 but not above) pulling silver back towards $13 where a lot of silver players are still doing very nicely. The addition of SSAM’s mine will add Jujuy to the ranks of provinces that are doing a nice sideline in royalties and economic trickledown. This reinforces pro-mining sentiment in the province while making some of the more sniffy provinces all the more irate because they can’t have their cake and eat it too.

While seeing SSAM going forward the ones that are in trouble are Exeter’s promising finds and Aquiline’s two projects. The latter should have made more hay while the sun shone with the market cap kicker that winning the La Navidad lawsuit gave them.

Having said all that we repeat that Argentina the country should weather any metals storm with little impact (though other storms might sink the ship of state).

Bolivia

The driver, who has been in most of Latin has publicly expressed concern about the metal Evo Morales, who is supposedly “the enemy” and the miners of the popular black. Zinc was tumbling to its attention, but also that he could care for any number of metals that Bolivia produces. Mining is an important source of employment (30,000), the mountain areas of the country, where he most of his support.

As we noted in our previous report of Bolivia, Morales regime itself does not appear to aggressively against foreign miners, and in fact be pro-mining know. The country is still in its natGAS exports go, but probably less than the income of the individual and the country enters its most important export market before the market categories (silver, zinc, tin and antimony). El Mutún iron ore in the mountain may be available for some comfort, if not the slowest this pack of Indians on the planet.

Bolivia knows how to tighten their belts, but the tightening is not easy, if the metal had just begun to seep through the Bonanza (Apex, etc.) and so little were still climbing, before the gravy train is derailed.

Brazil

There is more to the Brazilian economy than iron ore though one would not have known this from the furore of recent years. The rising Brazilian real over the boom period was having a deleterious effect on just about every Brazilian export sector excepting iron ore and soybeans, both of which could outrun the currency due to outsized price gains. Most other export categories went to hell. The shoe industry was pushed off the global store shelves by Chinese product on every battleground. Little concern was raisedÂ due to the booming domestic economy, fed by massive cash inflows, taking up the slack. The retreat in the real now gives industry a chance to start exporting again, and it will need to considering that the domestic economy will now need to revert back to being powered by its own financial resources rather =than the fleeting yen carry trade. Brazil’s mining sector consist of three elements with substance: iron ore, gold and nickel. Starting with the gold we would note that while there are a few substantial names producing (Yamana, Jaguar and Eldorado springing to mind) most of the players linked to Brazilian gold in recent years remain in the explorer category andÂ none we know of are in the imminent production category. In any case gold is not too bad in its current price range and all the current producers are still viable with the added kicker of lower costs due to the real dive and the retreat in oil prices (though the latter’s benefit was somewhat blunted by the currency move).

Nickel miners and wannabes received no such joy. As we noted in our piece on Brazilian nickel earlier this year there are not a lot of players but the one’s that there are signal Brazil’s appearance as a major new nickel province. However, the cataclysmic fall in the nickel price does not bode well for the wannabes or the producers. Mirabela Nickel, the Australian company was the one most likely to add to production in the very near future. It had been seeking a US$280mn senior debt financing (being underwritten by Credit Suisse and Barclays) but recently announced a two month extension to this syndication’s original December deadline. We feel ominous rumblings on this one unless the nickel price rises from the dead in pretty quick time. The company does however have an offtake deal with Norilsk which may yet result in Mirabela falling into the bear’s arms.

Bears have done enough damage already with the 12mth high being $8 and the current price being $1. 60. Being on the most slippery part of the explorer to producer time continuum has only taught Mirabela a lesson in Newton’s Law of Gravity.

Gravity has extracted an even heavier toll at wannabe, International Nickel Ventures. The stock has melted from $1. 20 when we wrote of it last to around 17 cents at the current time. That is not likely to be doing much for the near future.

So iron ore is the great hope. Only one month ago, Vale was riding high. . strutting about all cashed up and ready to share down the Chinese on price rise resistance. Sure it had been mauled price-wise but that too would pass. No such luck. Whether by accident or design the rumour got going that the Chinese were not only seeing big rises in steel inventory but that renegade buyers were defaulting on contracts. Suddenly Vale went from rooster to feather duster and started talking about cutting production (though not prices). This all remains to be seen. We repeat again that we think the Chinese are perpetrating many and various head-fakes through the commodity space at this time to further their long term goals. The financial community believes the bad vibes, some miners do not. Vale cutting production was the right approach to take. Better to leave it in the ground than let the Chinese get away with the current manouevre. Still the production scaleback should reduce Brazil’s foreign earnings form iron ore, if only temporarily.

Â In its own head fake MMX announced its delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange. We couldn’t help but suppress a smile at this and recall from the 1990s how certain Latin American empresarios like to have their stocks in the market where they can manipulate them best.

Chile

There was more panic in Chile a year ago at the danger of energy crises, water crises and a super expensive peso sabotaging the real economy. Copper is largely the unreal economy in Chile as so little of its benefits seep down to the 14 million people who aren’t on that gravy train. We could muse that the pressure on the water and energy resources is off (if only temporarily) while the peso has corrected nicely giving the exporters who really do produce jobs (agricultural mainly) a bit of breathing room.

Still bad news for copper is bad news for Chile. Codelco announced last week that its output was down 7. 83% YoY, in the January-September period, to 1. 12 mn tonnes mainly due to conflicts with contractors, environmental issues at El Teniente and Andina and lower grades.

Meanwhile Minera Escondida, the world’s largest copper mine, reported its production in the first nine months of this year fell 10. 4% year-on-year to 997,000 tonnes due to lower grades, less availability of ore for cathode output and problems related to a SAG mill failure.

In a more dramatic, but lesser scale, sign of the times the ASX-listed Tamaya Resources, a copper miner, went into administration last week claiming it was unable to repay its debts in light of falling copper prices. The company is the owner of the Punitaqui mine in Chile. The company reported a AU$141. 2 million loss in the first half of the 2008 calendar year.

Away from copper, in another announcement in late October, Coeur d’Alene Mines (CDE) said that it had placed mining activities at its Cerro Bayo mine on standby, tactfully rationalizing it as being due to “an immediate focus on expanding and upgrading the mine’s mineral reserves and resources and developing a three-year, sustainable mine plan with lower costs and higher production rates”. CDE claimed it was in the best interests of the company’s shareholders to preserve the valuable mineral reserves and resources at Cerro Bayo and not continue selling the silver and gold production at a loss. Chile is much more accustomed to the slings and arrows of fortune in the mining space and should weather the current downturn just fine.

This process however will cause damage to the hordes of smaller miners that have been looking to provide the partial replacement (on a smaller scale) for some of the mega mines in Chile that are seeing falling grades or face the prospect of exhaustion over the coming decade. It is a great pity that Chile never bothered to develop its own mining capital market (in contrast to Lima’s push) while the going was good.

Colombia

Strange reversal of the Colombian missed two reasons. As far as gold is concerned, there are few businesses in this area of the country. Insurgency enthusiastic prospectors kept under control, too late to really participate in all. There are only a handful of Canadian scientists, and none of the producers that we know.

Coal though is a different equation. This product has remained immune from the commodity debacle, at least thus far. As we pointed out in our recent Coalcorp note the dynamic for Colombian coal is one of tailwinds not headwinds. A major upgrade of the FENOCO rail system is resulting in dramatically improved transport margins for the miners and thus a quantum leap in net margins. Coal in Colombia is something that shall be getting a lot more airtime in the next year or two and deservedly so.

Otherwise, Colombia, for once, gets to stay out of the firing line, literally and figuratively.

Ecuador

Better late than never may turn out to be never for the Correa government that thought it was keeping its cool on its slow moving mining legislation. Instead cool was glacial and now looks like turning into an Ice Age in which Rafael will be the hunter-gatherer found preserved in the permafrost.

We noted some months back that certain countries felt that high oil prices gave them the luxury to eschew mining or at least put so many obstacles in the way that they could have “small but perfectly formed” mining industries. This was shortsighted to us because it actually made an economy entirely oil dependent and also it failed to grasp that oil did not provide substantial numbers of jobs and that oil was invariably somewhere else in the country than where the mining was undertaken. Â Thus in the specific Ecuadorian case the uplands indigenous population would be left to grow yams while a select groups of techies would run oil installations in the coastal and Amazonian lowlands.

We have no doubt that the mining legislation will finally get through and that it will still be usable by the mining industry. The key question is how many of the miners, kept in holding pattern burning cash for so long, will be around to touchdown at their projects when the greenlight appears. A foolhardy policy has meant that Ecuadorian projects are even lower on the exploration/production continuum than those specimens in Venezuela. That implies they are farther from production on average than their peers in other countries that makes them all the less attractive.

The 800-lb gorilla in the sector is now Kinross after their purchase of Aurelian to get their hands on the company’s Fruta del Norte mine. Aurelian has established an inferred resource of 13. 7 million ounces of gold and 22. 4-million ounces of silver at FDN. Based on initial scoping work and mine planning the project could cost around $500-million. This is not small change even by Kinross’ standards. They are lucky

indeed that gold is still in the range where this project looks viable. Ironically, despite the travails of all concerned in Ecuador, this project, even though still formative is more likely to be able to gain momentum than many other projects in many other countries, including those more advanced on the studies’ front.

Other interesting projects that Ecuador would “make a difference,” the global copper-gold deposit Corriente (ETQ CTQ. is) on the same copper belt. It has passed the feasibility stage, and the Mirador starter project planning board. This could be a non-starter copper project takes the speed again.

At least the Correa government will be able to boast of one mine after having effectively sabotaged all the “might-have-beens” by their tardiness.

Mexico

Doom mongers have a field day with Argentina’s antics and Venezuela and Bolivia are on the list for vilification of those opposed to their politics but when it comes down to it, Mexico is really the current “country most likely to. . . ” in Latin America. What it is most likely to do is in the eye of the beholder.

Our macro risk analyst Armen Kouyoumdjian, who has covered the country since the late 1970s used the words “failed state” the other day to give an idea of the direction in which Mexico is drifting. The metals collapse has come at a particularly bad time for Mexico. It has seen its oil price more than halved at a time of declining production, just as Mexican immigrants are sending home dramatically reduced remittances from the US (if not packing their bags and returning home due to lack of work or tightened persecution). The maquiladora industry is joined at the hip with the US auto industry and that is in free fall.

One week recently, Mexico spent US$10bn defending the peso. Why bother? Better to have devoted that to make work infrastructure projects than fight the reality. In any case a weaker local currency might help those miners already producing by lowering their comparative costs. We note that it is major Mexican corporations, Controladora and Vitro that have hit the rocks before any corporates in other parts of LatAm.

Mining could have been (and maybe still will be) a great job creator. It has the benefit of bringing jobs to out of the way places where nothing is going on. Talking to a Canadian mining company this week, we discussed the local village of 250 and asked “what had been done with them?” and the response was “we hired them all” and this is only in the exploratory phase. Conceivably the mine in operation would transform the district and support a town of 1,000 or more.

The story is repeated across northern Mexico and down to a few more southern areas like Oaxaca.

Mexico was also the country with the most Canadian juniors running loose. This was a product of a great government attitude towards foreign miners and sheer prospectivity of one of the greatest mineral provinces in the world. The government rightly did not pursue a nationalist tack for once in recognition that the few domestic miners that the country has range from the torpid to the blatantly unpleasant in their promotion of improved local communities or worker relations. Of course, the more juniors one has the more inactivity looms as this group run short on cash.

The majors in Mexico consist of the big three locals (four if Fresnillo is counted as a truly separate entity to PeÃ±oles) and now a handful of foreign mines making a good contribution to job creation, royalties and the trade balance in world-scale mines. This crowd are somewhat cushioned by silver staging a rebound and gold having found some footing in the mid-$700 range.

Once again we repeat that a weaker currency against the dollar would help. Those with an over-dependence on zinc or lead are over a barrel at the current time and the highly prospective El Boleo of Baja Mining has fallen victim to the low copper price and the financing freeze, despite having a truckload of money in the bank from the deal with Kores.

The freeze may eventually ease but the sheer size of this (and a few other projects being mooted like Geologix’s San Anton) may make big not beautiful compared to small and doable (like Fortuna’s San Jose project in Oaxaca).

Thus Mexico may not be an unalloyed disaster if silver can creep back to the $12 range in short order, gold holds its ground and copper tops $2 again. We repeat that we feel zinc could do a spike to over 80 cents on the massive production shutdowns currently in the works. That should at least bring comfort to those relying on byproduct credits, though new projects shall remain stuck in the starting gates.

Peru

Members of the Peruvian government had better start learning Chinese, or at least the one-China policy, rather quickly, since it has become a problem for them. Peru Conquistadores not mistaken is a treasure trove of minerals. Peru has the highest prospectivity for large mines of different metals, than anywhere else in Australia. Australians have already made clear, the Chinese, that they can not bite nibble. Peruvians are seemingly carefree ignorance of their attention to the treasure trove. The fact that the property is mostly Canadian hands (with some serious attention to Brazil’s Votorantim), it does not make one a month for half a dozen different if the Chinese come calling . Its all well and good to have customers in their products, but if you look at the “sphere of influence than” you. DRC is a sphere of influence in China these days, and it is not pretty.

Of course one could always let the Chinese in (via snapping up bargain basement Canadian stocks) and then expropriate them later. This is the traditional treatment for uppity foreigners. But maybe they should throw away the 1950-70s editions of this book and go back and check the 1880s when the British wanted nitrates and Bolivia and Peru were made to disgorge them through the Chilean factotum.

Back to our conspiracy theory. If you feel that the manipulation of the news flow regarding metals “demand” is designed to get prices down and facilitate a grab for copper mines and not just for a few shiploads in the short term then the mines that are in the target range are largely in Peru and they are projects like those of Candente and Chariot Resources.

Clearly tired of negotiating for top dollar at Peru Copper and Northern Peru Copper with hard nosed Canadians like the Global Copper team, the Chinese must be licking their chops at the prospect of ravaging some of the mine owners who have seen their prices turn turtle. As any Chinese market stall owner knows the best way to gut your turtle is when its on its back waving its legs in the air. Not a pretty prospect for Candente or Chariot (or their look-alikes).

It’s no skin off the Peruvians’ nose at this juncture to see a change of ownership (indeed it might even speed development) but it is a serious mistake for institutional holders to not properly assess the longer term values of these projects.

Just last week the first shot was fired with Cardero announcing the sale of one of its magnetite “mountains to a private Chinese company. This may be out head-faking the Chinese and we remain to be surprised by seeing this settle, but it just highlights that the Chinese are seeking to secure their upstream supply and intimidate Vale and Rio Tinto into acquiescence on iron-ore pricing.

Longer term the Peruvians may rue the day when the razor-wire surrounded encampments appear with the PLA-seconded security teams roaming around with machine guns. Won’t happen here? Happened in Africa. . . No somos africanos! To a Chinese mining executive all you non-Chinese peones look the same! Keep digging and shut your mouth. .

Whether the Garcia regime wakes up or not is not clear. Some say he is a great admirer of Deng Xaio Ping. . . hmmmm. . These Latin quasi-leftists are nothing if not retro. Peru has done one of the worst jobs in helping achieve trickledown from mining development to the masses. Up close and personal, local communities, like that around Fortuna’s Caylloma mine or Vena’s Macusani prospect have been treated well but others (like those at La Oroya in the fallout zone from the Doe Run smelter) have only received lead poisoning for their troubles. Mining inflation became

generalized inflation and the solution from on high was denial with some jiggery- pokery of the statistics with a distinct Argentine flavour to the manoeuvre. The Garcia administration must be hoping it gets a second chance to get this right by mining prices staging a comeback. In the meantime, it had better starting learning the Chinese word for “no” and be prepared to use it.

Venezuela

Like Ecuador, this country has the irony that it might see a major project that has been stalled moving ahead while all around them are in stasis. That said, the two mines (Brisas and Las Cristinas) might have been in production years ago and enjoying peak gold prices rather than being Johnny-come-latelys to the scene. In the meantime, Hugo Chavez has given himself the reputation of being fickle and radioactive towards miners. His latest love affair is the quasi-Russian Rusoro. Embrace the Bear if you dare. . .

Chavez may yet come to regret his latest infatuation. These two mines (one extracted from Gold Reserve and the other from Crystallex) might be developed as one complex due to their proximity but frankly who cares? Venezuela has shown its disinterest in mining except as a political football. No-one new will appear on the scene and what might have been will not be. Oil at the mid-$60s

level is good for Venezuela but not as good as at $150.

As long as bread and circuses keep the rabble from revolting, all is well, but when they actually need some gainful employment, which mining might have supplied, they will need to tone up their basket-weaving skills because mining will not be an option in creating jobs, or perish the thought, a diversified source of foreign earnings.

CONCLUSION

One imagines from the havoc wreaked on local currencies that the retreat in metals prices (and some grains) is going to ravage the economies of places like Brazil and Argentina. Certainly the earnings and exports from these activities will be less but scarcely a bloodbath. There have been no suggestions that we have heard that there is any lessened demand for the agricultural outputs of either of these places. As for Brazil its iron ore shall see lower volumes but they seem determined to hold the line on price.

The precious metals are battered but unbowed and they make up much of the export output of the mining sectors of many countries.

Chile is the prime sufferer from lower copper prices, but we are not perceiving any great suffering in the news flow because the domestic Chilean economy has seemingly been insulated by distance and design from copper’s mood swings. Still there will be a negative employment effect across the region from marginal mines being shut down and the investment flow to exploration drying up.

Confidence wise some of the plans of governments on the infrastructure front had mining in the background as the eventual or indirect paymaster. Those plans will now need to be tailored to a lesser quality and quantity of cloth.

Governments and industry must be given their cool at the time and look back to the basics of these metals, which are almost always good. In the meantime watch out for China’s checkbooks, it is mutually beneficial trade.
