Sandfire Resources is a buy according to Jean-Claude Perrottet from Medallion Financial Group. Sandfire is a copper explorer. Commenting on The Bull, Perrottet highlighted the miner's record sales revenue of $922.7 million in FY2022. He also noted the company's MATSA copper operations in Spain delivered a "positive operational performance". Perrottet said:

We remain optimistic about the longer term outlook for copper producers given the shift towards cleaner energy.

Renascor Resources

Renascor Resources is also a buy according to Perrottet. Renascor is developing the Siviour Graphite Project on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Perrottet highlighted Renascor has "the world's second biggest graphite reserve". He added:

RNU aims to become a supplier of purified spherical graphite (PSG) for lithium-ion battery anode makers across the world. RNU will reach a final investment decision in 2023. Keep an eye on the news flow.
