Headline check

The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Forget” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

BHP Group Ltd is a popular option for investors looking for copper exposure.

The team at Bell Potter thinks that is the case and is recommending one ASX copper stock to clients.

The stock that has caught the eye of Bell Potter is AIC Mines Ltd.

Bell Potter highlights that the ASX copper stock has announced the acquisition of the Mt Cuthbert copper project, located ~150km northwest of its Eloise operation.

Mt Cuthbert is a past-producing copper mine, with infrastructure including copper oxide heap leach pads and a 8,000tpa solvent extraction and electrowinning processing facility.

The project has Mineral Resources of 18.7Mt @ 1.3% Cu for 246kt Cu located on granted Mining Leases within a prospective 2,400km2 tenement package. ~74% of the current Resource is sulphide ore, for ~180kt contained copper.

According to the note, the broker has retained its buy rating on the ASX copper stock with an improved price target of $1.15.

Based on its current share price of 90 cents, this implies potential upside of about 28% for investors over the next 12 months.
