Q: Seasons Greetings Peter and 5I team!

I am looking to identify the proverbial “baby(s) that got thrown out with the bathwater” in the Canadian mining sector. It feels like this sector is “washed out” and that there may be oversold equities that are beginning to turn-around. What is your opinion?

On reading through your recent history answering questions on Lundin Mining, I sense that you have had some comfort with this company’s turn-around prospects. Would you kindly offer your comments on LUN’s current outlook.

Is LUN’s cash flow is expected to pick-up in the near term. Is it expensive based on current earnings? If so, are there any catalysts for organic growth to spur their earnings?

Are you able to identify which base metals are expected to be in shortage in the next year or two, and for which of these does LUN have capacity to meet market demand?

With respect to the base metals producers, what are the key factors to guide whether it is timely to wade back into this sector?

In your opinion, what companies in this sector appear to be poised to be recognized by the market to lead the turn-around in this sector? For example, although FM and HBM are debt laden, despite the likely impact of increasing interest rates negatively impacting their debt, what metals do they primarily produce that you think will sufficiently help them to handle to offset their debt burden?

If necessary, please feel free to deduct more than one credit for this inquiry. My thanks for your help.

Q: In reference to your remarks to the question about Lundin Mining (LUN) asked by Bill on Feb 25, 2014:
-When did management of Lundin say they may initiate a dividend once the Eagle Mine is in production?

I hold LUN and sell Call options against my shares for a decent income. If possible I would like to hear or read for myself the context in which a dividend was mentioned.

I too have thought the company may pay a dividend ever since they were unable to sell the company.

Thank you.
