Good piece that shines light on the crux of the matter: the mining sector is largely underweighted for the wrong reasons. We need less investment from institutional investors in ESG funds and more into mining. Where I disagree with Tom Wilson is that even if a BHP/AAL would not increase copper production, it would create scale, and that's essential for investment in physical assets and from a financial relevance point of view for investors. Too many investors and banks just have the wrong or misinformed perception of the sector. Just look at the massive breakthroughs the large miners are delivering across carbon intensity, steel decarbonisation electrification of the fleet, etc.. Natural resources companies and Mining are essential to the net zero solution. #nonmetalsnotransition https://lnkd.in/ebjwJP7Y
