Bornite Capital (ex-Goldman Sachs, ex-3G Capital) · concentrated commodity/CapEx-supercycle investor — running synthesis of his video/podcast appearances, with per-transcript breakdowns and a stock index.
His Nevada-Gold-Mines-spinout thesis played out; the endgame is a pure-play Nevada champion (Barrick+Newmont) at a sector-high multiple → "you get the rest of Barrick for free."
Pro pick — the nickel-superalloy pinch point in aerospace (a near-monopoly with pricing power, 15 yrs of volume growth); compounds ~15–25%/yr irrespective of the Boeing/Airbus cycle.
"Would be in my top three" — West White Rose & other expansions (plus MEG) convert capex to production, opening a big free-cash-flow wedge as capex steps down.
"The market's wrong" on the Secure Waste sell-off — a HALO (hard-asset, low-obsolescence) business; landfills are "beachfront property," inflation-indexed, AI-proof, at historic-low valuations. "A moment to buy."
Prior pick he continues to hold — the US LNG counterparty (with Shell Canada) Asian buyers should call to diversify supply away from Qatar after the Hormuz scare.
Still holds — the near-monopoly in nuclear safety/radiation-detection gear; install + recurring servicing over a plant's ~100-yr life = an inflation-protected century-long cash-flow stream.
His one Canadian position & a top conviction — a no-capex royalty as US shale plateaus; 10–15-yr math (2× production, 2× oil, half the shares) → an ~8X in profitability. "Slow and steady."
Precious-metals pro pick — permitted, built Eskay Creek restart on cheap hydro (gold/silver/antimony); ~$8–9 FCF/share at spot → ~$100 at 12× vs low-30s. "If silver doubles, this is how 10Xs are born."
Pro pick (returning, +87%) — PJM power producer; an Amazon data-center contract gives ~$50 FCF/share by 2028–29 (a double to 15×), with a 20%-power-price 3X and take-or-pay optionality on top.
A top holding reframed as industrial/infrastructure — "a factory of one," probably the most valuable infrastructure the world has; the cash flows here.
The other half of the aerospace backlog; like Boeing it certifies parts, so it can't switch to cheap nickel alloy — hence owning the alloy maker (Carpenter).
A "follow the cash" example — search built huge value with ~zero capex; its legacy cash now recycles into data-center infrastructure, redirecting trillions to commodity/infra suppliers.
Auto-transcript "Lumin M Metals" — a heavily-oversubscribed TSX copper IPO from Ross Beaty (quietly scouting Polish copper); cited as a "logical" reaction to the copper deficit.
"The Lundins… I have an incredible amount of respect for" — their BHP-JV Argentine copper project is ~2037 and small, showing how little new copper is in the pipeline.
Same "follow the cash" point — social media's capital-light cash machine now funds infrastructure, so the suppliers (not the platforms) are the next 20-yr winners.
Trades risk-off in war (no sulfur after Ras Laffan) vs nitrogen peers risk-on; badly beaten up, should bounce. Long-term "okay" (precision-ag could cut fertilizer use ~50%).
The copper-demand swing factor — Blackwell/Vera Rubin need ~50–80k tons/GW (~750k tons/yr of builds vs ~1M tons total demand); also the China rare-earth bargaining chip.
The lens for the silver question — bullish silver (~200M oz/yr deficit, ~3 yrs to stockouts, price "has to double") but expressed through owned producers (→ Skeena).
Private — a coming "$2T IPO" pitching solar-powered data centers in space; used to underline silver demand (solar is silver's biggest industrial use), not a stock view.
Asked about Canadian gas — he prefers US gas (better markets/pricing + data-center take-or-pay optionality); Canadian gas needs far more LNG-export build-out to re-rate.
CEO Francois Poirier's "the world is calling" plea framed the Canada-energy discussion — Dreyfus expects executives making the case now to get things done within ~2 years.
In one line: we're in "the mother of all CapEx cycles" — many $1T+/decade spending cycles at once — so own the supply-chain pinch points and the commodities/infrastructure the cash is now flowing into.
Find the pinch point. Bornite maps where the world is going, the big CapEx cycles (aerospace, grid T&D, power gen, data centers, critical minerals — each $1T+/decade), the supply chains, and the choke points — "if you can own the pinch point, that's where all the alpha is." Hence Carpenter (jet-engine nickel superalloy), not Boeing/Airbus.
Follow the cash. Tech (Google/Meta/Microsoft) built huge value with ~zero capex while the US deindustrialized to China; now those firms recycle legacy cash into infrastructure/data centers — so the next 20-yr winners are the infrastructure & commodity suppliers, not the platforms.
Reframe "industrials." A chip fab (Taiwan Semi, "a factory of one") is infrastructure like a smelter; Mastercard is "the Franco-Nevada of everything" — a royalty on all spending and the purest currency-debasement play.
Energy: own the cash, capitalize the normal. Take today's windfall (~$100 oil) for buybacks/debt paydown but capitalize a normalized ~$70–80. Canada is "the most exciting place in the world to invest in energy" as US shale plateaus — his one Canadian name, PrairieSky, is an ~8X-profitability royalty; Cenovus a top-3 name; US gas preferred over Canadian.
Metals need to double. Copper "going to have a gold moment" (~$10 needed to force new supply; AI/Blackwell demand shock still ahead); silver ~3 yrs from stockouts; gold equities discount ~$3,000–3,500. Plays: Freeport/Ivanhoe/Hudbay (copper), Skeena (gold/silver/antimony 10X), Barrick (Nevada-spinout endgame).
Debt endgame = monetization → risk-on. Interest expense outgrows revenue; austerity "doesn't work," so expect Fed monetization/debt forgiveness — "the holy grail for hard assets." Sitting in cash is the real crisis; he's "maximum risk-on" in infrastructure, hard assets and commodities.
