A mouse that might roar

PORTFOLIO POINT: Jervois is a tiny company, but two big joint venture partners could change that. 


Junior miner Jervois Mining (JRV) could well become the Fortescue of nickel, speculates Melbourne investment analyst Richard Campbell.


“When I first looked at the company, back when nickel was $US50,000 a tonne, I saw it was sitting on roughly $30–50 billion worth of nickel in raw terms,” Campbell says. “It’s also got perhaps $3 billion worth of cobalt and a significant amount of iron ore at a grade of 15%. I thought this must be the most undervalued company in Australia.”


The word is out, yet even though Jervois has gained some 20% over the past week to reach a market cap of about $50 million (it closed on Tuesday at 2.3 ¢), it’s still a relatively tiny (and speculative) company, one that has been quietly going about its business – mainly gold, and before that, copper mining – since first listing in Adelaide back in 1963. 


On June 2, Jervois announced a clever three-way deal with two top Chinese partners, one a proven joint venture operator, the other one of the world's biggest railway companies. With free carried interest of 20%, and the option to take that up to 30% dollar-for-dollar, Jervois is now working alongside Yunnan Jiaming, a nickel specialist, and the $US15 billion China Railway Group on a nickel laterite project outside Young, NSW.
