Gresham "Group 150" - October 2010

OCTOBER 2010

1

ASX RESOURCES - GROUP 150We are pleased to present the October edition of ‘Group 150’, a ranking of the top 150 ASX listed resources companies (excluding oil and gas), by market capitalisation.

The market value of the Group 150 at the end of September was $525 billion, up 8.1% from August. An incredible 141 of the Group 150 companies recorded an increase in market value during the month. The entry point into the Group 150 for September was $95 million versus $77 million for August. The ASX/S&P 200 Resources Index rose 5.7% in the month, while the ASX All Ordinaries and ASX/S&P 200 Index increased 4.5% and 4.1% respectively.

The most interesting developments over the past month have been in the currency rather than equities markets. The Australian dollar continued its steady rise against most currencies in September, increasing 8.8% to a high of 97.3 US cents on the back of a potential increase in interest rates by the Reserve Bank and a widespread expectation that the US Federal Reserve will undertake a second round of quantitative easing in November.

During September we also witnessed a record surge in precious metals prices in US$ terms. Gold reached US$1315 per ounce and silver achieved US$22 an ounce—the highest since 1980. Gold and silver prices have increased 19% and 29% respectively since the start of 2010. Platinum increased 9% and Palladium increased 16% in US dollar terms during the month.

Given the strength in the gold price, we thought it timely to complete an assessment of the ASX listed gold landscape in the past 10 years. The number of Australian listed gold producers has shrunk dramatically over that period, with only 7 out of 25 listed companies surviving the wave of domestic mergers and foreign acquisitions. The consolidation in the sector has also seen the annual production by Australian listed gold companies decline from 8.9m oz in 2000 to 5.6m oz in 2010. Currently there are 43 listed gold companies in the Group150.

So, the interesting question remains - who will survive the next 12 months, let alone the next 10 years? Starved for choice at the top end (+500koz per annum) following Newcrest’s acquisition of Lihir, both local and international investors are now actively seeking exposure to the Australian mid tier and near term producers, leading to a gradual increase in market ratings. This exposure also provides leverage to the likely wave of in-market consolidation in the sector, as local producers pursue scale to replace the “Lihir void”. We also expect North American gold companies to continue to selectively seek to acquire the best assets (like Andean) to exploit ratings arbitrage between the two markets. Played right, some Australian gold shareholders may enjoy and capture the “double premium”.

In this edition of the Group 150, we have updated the “MRRT-impact” chart from the September edition, to determine whether the market capitalisation of the constituents of the Group 150 have recovered following the outcome of the election. As presented in the last edition the MRRT, as presently conceived has a long path to travel before it becomes legislation. The average market value of domestic focussed companies since the proposed MRRT was announced has increased 42.3% (vs 20.0% in August and 15.4% July). International focused companies increased 49.1% (vs 14.1% in August and 7.6% in July).

who wiLL Survive The neXT 10 YeArS? - ASX LiSTed GoLd compAnieS The Australian listed gold producers have shrunk dramatically since 2000, with only 7 out of 25 surviving the wave of domestic mergers and foreign acquisitions. The recent acquisition of Lihir by Newcrest, further widens the gap to the up and coming mid tier producers - NCM’s proforma FY10 production of ~2.8m ozs is ~8x larger than the next biggest producer in Resolute with 352k oz.

The consolidation in the sector has seen the annual Australian listed gold production decline from 8.9moz in 2000 to 5.6moz in 2010.

Starved for choice at the top end (+500koz per annum) following Newcrest’s acquisition of Lihir, both local and international investors are now actively seeking exposure to the Australian mid tier and near term producers, leading to a gradual increase in market ratings. This exposure also provides leverage to the likely wave of in-market consolidation in the sector, as local producers pursue scale to replace the “Lihir void”. We also expect North American gold companies to continue to selectively seek to acquire the best assets (like Andean) to exploit ratings arbitrage between the two markets. Played right, some Australian gold shareholders may enjoy and capture the “double premium”.

So the interesting question remains - who will survive the next 12 months let alone the next 10 years?
