Long Life Reserves
Long Life ReservesCommentator Don Coxe is well known for his insistence that investments provide “long-life reserves in a politically stable environment.”
If that is the criteria, then there are few investments that can hold a candle to Mercator Minerals. To further underscore the meaning of those word, take a moment to review today’s announced intent by Zambia to significantly hike taxes on mineral producers.
Increased income taxes plus a 3% ORR that would be forced upon producers in Zambia is tantamount to having them fork over a sizeable carried working interest. Ouch!
Naturally, aggressive tax hikes such as this, and the even more egregious tax that has taken hold in Bolivia, serves to further enhance the value of companies like Mercator.
