BMO re Power Interruptions
Bottom Line:
Q1 production of 86,203t of copper in concentrate is close to our expectation of 93,000t
as the mine was impacted by previously disclosed power grid instability. The company
continues to focus on parallel initiatives to stabilize power availability over the balance
of 2024. Notably the Phase 3 expansion is 92% complete and ahead of schedule with
commissioning now expected in May instead of late Q2. Ivanhoe is extending its track
record of delivering or exceeding expectations as one of the few growth names in the
copper sector.

Big guys move first, wonder what explains CS beating everyone?

You can definitely make the argument big guys move first due to liquidity, but you can also make make the argument that leverage helps juice performance when the underlying commodity is trending in the right direction. CS definitely uses substancial leverage ( although i don't think overly) in its structure providing more torque in a strengthening copper market.

You are absolutely right Crow, And besides that, production lost because of power issues, will have ben deferred into Q1 and beyond, Which has, and will have a significantly higher CU price...so it all works out , eh
