The Daily Reckoning Australia
 
Featured Idea...
 

Dear Reader,

Here at Fat Tail Investment Research, we’re getting a distinct sense of history repeating…

Back in the mists of time — when our independent stock-picking business was just a single newsletter sent out by post — Australia’s LAST mining boom was also in its infancy.

Addressing our very first readers, we called it…

…‘The Big Dig’.

And predicted that ‘real asset’ stocks…the best of which were listed right here on the ASX…would start to peel away from all other investments you could make.

At least for the foreseeable future.

We covered this first boom as it crested…finally went mainstream…and then supersonic. And in those pioneer days we didn’t mince words:

A giant exploration and production rush is about to hit Australia, the likes of which have not been seen in 25 years.

Our prediction seems obvious in retrospect. Trust me, most scoffed at the time we made it.

The Australian mining boom that peaked in 2011 came on SO fast…and SO hard…it blindsided even the grizzled veterans.

China’s huge appetite for minerals was a tide that lifted all boats.

High grade, low grade, long mine life, or short mine life…it didn’t really matter. Any company with a decent possibility of going into some form of production benefitted.

As did those who owned the stocks before everyone else.

But just ONE company can lay claim to TOTALLY OWNING this First Age in modern Aussie mining:

Fortescue Metals Group.

Are we about to see a replay?

And is there a SUCCESSOR to Fortescue in our midst?

James Cooper is a seasoned exploration geologist and mining insider who’s been doing some digging for us. He’s come up with some explosive intel.

There IS an ‘heir apparent’ to Fortescue Metals Group out there…

…hatching an epic plan from its base in the Northern Territory.

We’re certainly not predicting a history-making, 130,000%-plus share price gain like Fortescue’s. That was a feat likely never to be repeated.

But the early-stage similarities between these two mining pioneers are startling.

Startling enough for us to label this new play the ‘Son of Fortescue’.

We’re about to anoint this stock. Click here to learn more.

Cheers,
