Copper Miners Branch Out for Profits
The Bedford Report Provides Analyst Research on Taseko Mines & KAT Exploration

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 20, 2011) - After spiking more than 30 percent in 2010, the price of copper has shown little sign of slowing down to kick off the new year. For a brief moment yesterday London copper prices rose to a record high, lifted by a fall in the dollar and positive US earnings expectations. According to the International Copper Study Group, simple supply and demand is the primary reason for the surge in copper's price. The study group claims that mine production increased a mere 1 percent year on year after the most recent quarter, while usage was up more that 8 percent. Should the strong demand trends continue, analysts argue that the price of copper could continue its record run. The bulls who believe that copper prices will continue to surge may be inclined to look into copper miners. Investors in copper miners are banking on rising earnings, as copper prices rise, to provide value. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Copper Industry and provides research reports on Taseko Mines Ltd. (NYSE Amex: TGB) and KAT Exploration Inc. (PINKSHEETS: KATX).

Mining and metals consulting firm CRU estimates that China's copper consumption will almost double by the end of 2020, which would account for nearly 50 percent of world copper sales. With over 1.3 billion citizens, China needs loads of the red metal to meet its modernization requirements for electricity and infrastructure.

Bonnie Liu, an analyst at Macquarie Group Ltd, argued last week that China's copper demand may increase 6 percent this year after climbing 10 percent in 2010.

While a higher copper price means higher earnings for copper miners, many companies in the industry have found other means for profits as well.

Earlier this month Canada-based Taseko Mines saw its share price skyrocket more than 15 percent after the company announced that 21 of 23 drill holes in its niobium drilling project in British Colombia intersect "excellent grade niobium mineralization." Niobium is a much sought-after mineral due do its plethora of industrial uses.

Also branching out, the much maligned KAT Exploration announced last month that it drilled rare earth elements at its 100 percent owned Rusty Ridge Property.

Here's the intro to the report:

While a higher copper price means higher earnings for copper miners, many companies in the industry have found other means for profits as well. For example the much maligned KAT Exploration announced last month that it drilled rare earth elements at its 100 percent owned Rusty Ridge Property. The company says that rare earth elements reported were analyzed by Acme Labs in Vancouver using their Group 4B analytical method, which produces accurate analyses of the rare earth and associated elements. By now, most basic material investors are well aware of the so-called “rare earth bubble”. Rare earth metals are the life blood of modern computers, batteries and alternative energies.
Bear in mind at KAT hasn’t yet announced that they found economically viable Rare Earth’s in one of the two drill cores – always read the press releases carefully!

Having said that, KAT primarily... (see research report)
