The Future of Mining: Urban Mining

Technical analyst Clive Maund of CliveMaund.com profiles a company that has developed a pollution-free process for extracting gold and base metals from E-waste.

This is a big, big story that is only just starting to leak out—very, very few investors know about it. Mineworx Technologies Ltd. (MWX:TSX.V; MWXRF:OTCQB) has developed a
pollution-free process for extracting gold and base metals from E-waste
(electronic waste), which promises to free up and make available a vast
quantity of these metals. This is because the amount of this E-waste
produced globally is enormous. As the following picture, lifted from a recent Mineworx presentation,
makes clear, 35,576 tonnes on average of this waste was generated per
day in 2015, which includes 8,769 tonnes in Canada and the US alone. So
there is no shortage of material to work with.

The following page from the presentation makes clear that this E-waste
is extremely rich in gold. Just one ton of E-waste will yield
approximately 1000 grams of gold, with a value, subject to the gold
price, of $38,530. Compare this with what you get chugging through a ton
of mining ore, which yields a paltry 10 grams, with a value of only
$400, and you will start to get an idea of how big a business this is
going to be, and when you throw in the fact that it is an eco-friendly
non-polluting way of processing this waste, it should be obvious that
this is going to be a massively lucrative business for the pioneers of
this process, which may fairly be described as “urban mining.”

Although few know about this yet, it is obvious from the latest Mineworx
charts that somebody does, because the price of the stock has doubled
over the past of couple of weeks, with the price running up almost
vertically on strong volume to arrive at a resistance level whose
origins become clear on longer-term charts. This spike has caused it to
become extremely overbought so it has paused in recent days to
consolidate its gains, as we can see on its latest 6-month chart below.
However, given the magnitude of this story, which is still not widely
known, it is considered unlikely that it will react back – more probable
is that it will consolidate for a week or two at most before taking off
higher again. A point worth making here is that while the volume on the
rally so far is good, it is not all that big, given the magnitude of
the story, which is because it is still not widely known.

While the 6-month chart might seem a little unnerving for would be
buyers of a more timid disposition, the longer-term 10-year chart
reveals that there is big upside potential once Mineworx succeeds in
breaking above the resistance level at the March peak, which is what
caused it to stop here, and then above that, resistance at the higher
peaks between about C$0.19 and C$0.23. Once it gets through these
levels, which could happen fast given the magnitude of this story, it
should fly.

The 20-year chart certainly makes the stock appear historically cheap
now, with the rally of the past few weeks scarcely registering as a blip
on this chart, although we should bear in mind that we are not
comparing like with like here, as the company has doubtless changed
completely since its highs in the early 2000s.

Although it looks like we missed the start of this bull market, that is
not entirely true, because we bought Enviroleach Technologies Inc. (ETI:CSE) before it broke out and
rose steeply. Whereas Mineworx has developed this extraction process
and has, it is believed, propriety rights over it, Enviroleach has an
agreement with Mineworx and actually uses the process, and you will see
it mentioned in the Mineworx presentation. Whilst we have done well with
Enviroleach, which is currently reacting back on much lighter volume
and looking set to turn higher again soon, Mineworx stock has much
higher leverage because it is a much lower priced stock, and of the two
is therefore considered to be the most attractive, although Enviroleach
itself should continue to prove to be a most worthwhile investment.

In conclusion, Mineworx is considered to be an extraordinarily
attractive investment here, because the story behind it is huge, as the
company is in the vanguard of the movement to process gold and base
metals in vast quantities from electronic waste in an environmentally
friendly manner. We are well aware that the stock is technically
overbought here, and could react back a little short-term, in which case
it would simply be more attractive, but the danger here is missing it
by waiting to clip a few cents off the price, since this stock is likely
to storm ahead again before long. So it is considered best for those
interested to go ahead and buy it here, and Canadian investors can go
ahead and buy it here today while U.S. investors are more concerned with
eating turkeys, etc. Mineworx trades in good volumes on the U.S.
OTC market, and although there is a heavy 276.7 million shares in issue,
this is probably commensurate with the scale of the company’s
operations and factored into the price anyway.
