カミノ・ミネラルズ社、ペルー鉱床発見地で掘削を開始

-- カミノ・ミネラルズ(COR.V)は木曜日、ペルーのコスタ・デ・コブレ地区におけるIOCG銅鉱床(旧称ロス・チャピトス銅プロジェクト)での掘削キャンペーンを開始したと発表した。 同社は、ロス・チャピトス・プロジェクトを「低地の沿岸地域に位置し、主要インフラへの戦略的な近接性」をより適切に反映させるため、名称変更したと述べた。主要インフラには、北へ約125キロメートル離れたマルコナに計画されている大規模な新港湾施設、サン・フアン・デ・マルコナ港ターミナルが含まれる。 また、コスタ・デ・コブレ・プロジェクトは、日鉄鉱業との合弁事業締結に伴い、探査・開発の次の段階に進むと発表した。この合弁事業では、カミノがオペレーターを務め、65%の権益を保有し、日鉄鉱業は残りの35%の権益を保有する。 カミーノ社は、チリのプキオス銅鉱山(採掘許可取得済み)の開発も進めており、日鉄との50/50合弁事業として、2026年半ばの資金調達と建設開始を目指しています。 同社は、複数の探査キャンペーンの成功を受け、ディバ断層系(全長8km)とラ・エスタンシア断層系(全長12km)を含む主要な構造帯に沿った大規模な銅鉱化帯をターゲットとしています。最近の掘削および地表調査により、熱水性角礫岩およびマント型鉱体に関連する広範囲な酸化銅鉱化帯の存在が確認されたとのことです。 「今回の掘削キャンペーンでは、ディバ断層とラ・エスタンシア断層において、最初の100mの酸化銅鉱化帯と深部の硫化銅鉱化帯に焦点を当て、約1,100mの掘削を予定しています。既知の鉱化帯の拡大と、優先度の高い構造帯の調査を目的としています」と、カミーノ社ペルー担当チーフ地質学者、オーランド・パリオーナ氏は述べています。 「今回の掘削調査は、コスタ・デ・コブレにおける銅鉱化作用をさらに詳細に把握することを目的としています。」 同社の株式は4月14日にトロント証券取引所ベンチャー市場で取引され、終値は0.58ドルでした。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
