ENERGY IS THE FUTURE

Zinc

  • The global Zinc market stood at ~13.8Mt in 2023 and is anticipated
    to grow at a CAGR of 2.14% during the forecast period until 2034.
    Zinc, an essential chemical element, plays a pivotal role in modern society due to versatile applications.

  • Emerging importance in renewable energy storage solutions

  • Global Zinc demand for renewable energy technologies is
    forecast to continuously increase during the next decade,
    from 109,300 metric tons in 2020 to 364,000 in 2030

  • Solar energy is expected to account for the largest share of Zinc consumption, with a forecast volume of 162,000 metric tons in 2030.

Copper

  • Urbanizing, electrifying world requires a step change in Copper demand

  • Annual Copper demand from alternative energy alone is estimated to increase 650% by 2030 (0.99Mt to 6.4Mt)

  • Copper demand is expected to significantly exceed supply

  • Analysts forecast an upward trajectory for Copper prices in
    2024 and beyond, driven by supply-demand imbalances, US
    rate-cutting cycle, and increasing demand from the green
    energy sector.

  • The Copper price reached its highest recorded price of
    US$11,464 per metric ton, in May 2024.

Gold

  • Gold has outperformed the US S&P500 this century (660% vs 272%)

  • Exponential global FIAT currency creation versus constant 2% annual gold supply increase will likely continue this trend

    US Dollar has lost +97% of its value relative to gold since start of Federal Reserve in 1913

  • Portfolio hedge against inflation, gold outperforms most asset classes during these economic conditions

  • Price risen 25% since March 2020 ($US1,451/oz to $US$1,824/oz)
