Ernst & Young’s Mining Eye is a weekly share index tracking the combined performance of the top twenty mining companies on AIM by market weight. A quarterly report provides key analysis and commentary on these AIM listed Mining shares.
- AIM’s junior mining equities continue to underperform metals prices, as the Mining Eye index only gained 5% over Q1 2012, compared with an 8% increase in the LME Index.
- Despite ongoing volatility and risk aversion, a number of funding options arose in Q1, both debt and equity, showing finance is available for the right projects.
- We expect continued volatility to make funding conditions difficult, especially for early stage juniors. We expect investors to look for opportunities, though, to secure supply of, or control over, raw materials, creating potential funding options for companies with quality projects.
