6. Key Points
Mining sector companies are available at attractive valuations today. The mining
sector is generating close to record free cash flow today, whilst balance sheets are
in strong shape and companies remain focused on capitaldiscipline.
Supply is tight in most mined commodity markets and, given the cuts inmining
sectorspending since2012(down ~66%)weexpect it to remainso.
