Hi edgescape it will take some time to get your mind around this one and the current situation MMI are in.
In brief, it is a bauxite miner based in Cape York Australia. Their operation is to dig up the material, minimally process it, put onto barges and then take the barges out to sea where the material it transferred to bulk ships and taken to China. Over the last couple of years they have copped every insult known to business, from COVID to cyclones and just about went broke.
There is new management (CEO Simon Wensley appointed July 2021 - so this transformation has been going on for some time) and they have been doing what appears to be all the right things from mine equipment upgrades to a new transhipper to refinancing. In doing all this they have racked up considerable debt, and any buy-thesis is based on the operation this season going smoothly with increased production and bauxite prices holding up - and nothing else going wrong.
A good starting point to understand MMI is their presentation of 26/2/24.
It is a stock that has every chance of doubling or more over the next 12 months. To buy it you have to believe in the management team that they have finally got it right and steel yourself for the possibility you could lose the lot.
You can see Simon Wensley present at the Sydney Resources Roundup next Thursday at 10:15am.
