First Quantum/Lumina Deal: Implications for RMC
Any thoughts on the implications of this deal for RMC? Perhaps it may signal the beginning of dealmaking and consolidation in the copper space. The approximate 30% premium paid, given that Lumina's project is in Argentina, sounds about right. It would seem that RMC's assets are significantly more undervalued and that RMC would command a premium of at least 50% if not significantly more. The window of time for Freeport to make a move is closing with drill rigs due to arrive on site at RMC's 100% owned property soon.
