Company Report

Commodity Price Update Q3 2024: Value in Mineral Sands, Gold, and Thermal Coal

Base metals prices surged earlier in the June quarter of 2024 before partially reversing due to concerns over China’s economy. Iron ore prices are broadly stable despite China's struggling property market and weak infrastructure spending, leading to questions over China's steel demand. After updating our commodity price assumptions, no-moat Iluka is the cheapest miner we cover, trading 31% below its unchanged fair value estimate of AUD 9.50.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Demand from Asia for New Hope’s high-quality (high energy, low ash) thermal coal is likely to remain robust for the next decade.

Bears

Greater action on climate change could see demand for thermal coal curtailed sooner and more significantly than anticipated.

Company Profile

New Hope Corporation is an Australian thermal coal miner. It has two operating mines: the 100%-owned New Acland coal mine in Queensland and its 80%-owned Bengalla coal mine in New South Wales. The company should produce around 13 million metric tons of equity salable thermal coal annually from fiscal 2028, up from around 7.5 million in fiscal 2023, driven by the construction and ramp up of New Acland Stage 3. The vast majority of New Hope’s production is sold into seaborne thermal coal export markets. Reserves at New Acland and Bengalla are sufficient to support multidecade mine lives. New Hope also has significant undeveloped coal resources in Queensland, as well as a 20% holding in the Malabar-Maxwell metallurgical coal mine, which began production in 2023.
