Ivanhoe Mines Ltd (IVPAF)

[JB3729]

Robert Friedland spoke yesterday -

The current lithium frenzy will end badly while gold bugs should look at the riper opportunities available in copper and platinum, according to mining financier Robert Friedland.
In a sprawling, exuberant and at times politically incorrect speech at the Mines and Money Americas conference in Toronto, the veteran promoter demonstrated he hasn’t lost his sales mojo as he ticked off all the reasons why the properties owned by his Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. just happen to be ideally positioned for the next wave of automotive technology.

@newstracker I think I just witnessed the best investment pitch of my life. #RobertFriedland #MinesMoney

@newstracker "Kakula is just a puppy, it is growing. I am confident it can deliver 8 to 12 per cent copper" #RobertFriedland $IVN #MinesMoney

@newstracker "When you cut open a lithium battery, you copper, lithium, cobalt, and very little lithium." #lithium #RobertFriedland #MinesMoney

@newstracker Instead of finding a third rate resource in a safe jurisdiction, find the best resource in a funky environment and figure out how to protect. We wave the Canadian flag. #RobertFriedland at #MinesMoney

@newstracker More than a million miles of drill holes at Ivanhoe. $IVN #MinesMoney #RobertFriedland

@newstracker "Voisey Bay and Lac de Grass pimples on an ass compared to kakula."

@newstracker Flatreef Orders of magnitude bigger than hemlo and it is under one company

@newstracker Twice the nickel and 50 per cent more copper than neighboring Anglo property. $IVN

@newstracker Ore body the size of manhattan. $IVN

@newstracker "Africa, the next China"

@newstracker Apparently everything will have to be copper to fight the coming super bugs

@newstracker China to build out electric grid, need copper, copper use in medical devices. Friedland making the case for copper with all its uses against a China demand backdrop. #copper #MinesMoney

@newstracker "When you cut open a lithium battery, you copper, lithium, cobalt, and very little lithium." #lithium #RobertFriedland #MinesMoney

@newstracker No platinum in central bank vaults

@newstracker "Platinum is critical to cleaner air, but there is a market deficit." #pgm

@newstracker Friedland affecting an Indian accent describing pollution in India.

@newstracker "When the Germans change what they are doing, then the Japanese, then the Americans (referring to converting car production to electric)"

@newstracker "The copper induction motor does not need any rare earths. I am glad we killed this rare earth thing. Do not worry about the Chinese squeezing our testicles. They are not rare. We have copper. Most Lithium miners are going to end in tears." - Friedland #MinesMoney #lithium

@newstracker "Fuel cells use platinum particles as a catalyst to split hydrogen fuel into ions and electrons." - Friedland #MinesMoney
