Global Hunter (GBLHF.PK)
Global Hunter’s focus is on strategic and base metals, with an advanced stage copper oxide project in Chile and a highly prospective molybdenum property in British Columbia, Canada. GBLHF teams are working on developing the Corona de Cobre property in Chile and the Rabbit south property in British Columbia.
According to report world refined copper consumption exceeded production by 436,000 tons between January and September this year, compared with a deficit of 56,000 tons last year. Driven by a recovery in the EU, along with Japanese and US demand from weak 2009 levels, world consumption grew by 8 percent or over 1 million tons to 14.678 million tons in the January to September period, while output only reached 14.242 million tons. By comparison, Chinese apparent usage increased by only 4.5 percent, although 2009 growth was huge in China and almost certainly resulted in considerable stocks compared to the rest of the world. As a result of the constrained supply position, refinery utilization was only 77 percent, further constraining supply of refined metal.
