Fat Prophets has been providing dedicated coverage of the resource sector since the launch of the Mining & Resources Report in 2005. Since that time, the resource space has continued to develop into a global behemoth with an increasing number of companies operating mines and developing projects across the globe.
With the large number of global resource companies available to investors, our Global Mining Report is designed to sort the “wheat from the chaff”. With our extensive resource expertise, Fat Prophets has made it our absolute mission to seek out the best exposure to base metals, precious metals and energy companies from the global pool of resource companies.
Our Global Mining Report has a firm capital growth focus and utilises our on the ground knowledge of resource companies globally to present opportunities across both the majors and minnows of the resource markets.
To generate superior returns, one must understand the inherent volatility in the global resources sector; an understanding that Fat Prophets has an expertise in. We would encourage you to take a look at our Global Mining Report.
The report was launched back in 2000 in the middle of what was at the time one of the most savage bear markets ever witnessed. The report has gone on to comfortably outperform the broader market over the past 19 years.
