What Amerigo Resources does

Reprocesses tailings from Codelco's El Teniente mine in Chile to recover copper and molybdenum.

Processes tailings, the waste left from Codelco's mining, which Codelco supplies in exchange for payments tied to the copper price, so Amerigo avoids mining costs. Revenue is copper concentrate (plus molybdenum) sold at market prices. Its fortunes depend on one supply contract and one site.

Products and services

  • Copper concentrate from tailings
  • Molybdenum concentrate (byproduct)

Customers

  • Codelco (tailings supply agreement)
  • Copper/moly smelters and traders

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Base metals
  • Tailings reprocessing
  • Copper/moly recovery, Chile

What could go right

  • Copper price strength
  • Higher tailings grade/throughput

What could go wrong

  • Dependence on a single tailings-supply contract
  • Chilean regulatory/water risk

Moat: narrow (cost advantage, installed base). Long-term tailings-supply contract with Codelco gives low-capex, low-cost feedstock access.

Headquarters: Vancouver, Canada (operations in Chile)

Questions

Who are Amerigo Resources's main competitors?
Named competitors: Codelco (private or unlisted), Antofagasta (ANTO.L), Capstone Copper (CS.TO), Lundin Mining (LUN.TO). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Osisko Metals (OM.TO), Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores (SANDUMA.NS), Changsha Dialine New Material Sci.&Tech (300700.SZ), Metals X (MLX.AX), Zhejiang Tony Electronic (603595.SS), Talon Metals (TLO.TO).
Is Amerigo Resources expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 12.2× against a peer median of 13.4×, 6th cheapest of 11 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 4% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +13%, so the hurdle is -10 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Amerigo Resources stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +24.4% against -16.1% for the median peer; over one year +161.6%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
