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 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.
