Last week we announced our latest investment - FYI Resources (ASX: FYI).
Today we share our deep dive analysis on why we have invested in FYI for the long term.
Over the last 12 months we have made 9 long term investments into high potential ASX companies.
FYI is our tenth investment and since our initiation note last week is up 24%.
Here is our deep dive analysis on why we invested in FYI:
FYI is in the advanced stages of bringing a High Purity Alumina (HPA) plant into production.
High Purity Alumina (or HPA) is increasingly used in Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. Some forecasts have the demand for HPA to rocket from the current 40,000 tpa to over 140,000 tpa by 2026.
FYI is currently capped at $173M – and recently updated a Definitive Feasibility Study which demonstrated its project can deliver a Net Present Value of over A$1.3BN.
If you are too busy to read the deep dive, here are the four key reasons we invested in FYI:
- FYI is leveraged to the "Battery Metals" thematic. We have done well in this space before.
- FYI’s development project is at an advanced stage. FYI’s Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrated an NPV of over A$1.3BN.
- Potential Alcoa JV. FYI is in exclusive talks with Alcoa on a potential JV.
- FYI has a cheaper and less energy intensive process for HPA production. FYI’s HPA production is cheaper and has less carbon emissions than its peers.
We think FYI is well positioned to bring its HPA plant into a reality over the coming years, after demonstrating all the project's credentials over recent months.
The next stage is financing and to that end, the Alcoa negotiations are a strong positive sign.
Given the surge in HPA demand driven by its use in lithium ion batteries, we are hoping that FYI can capitalise on this over the coming years.
