Part of Critical Minerals & Mining · core · 5y thesis
Physical buildouts require metals and mined inputs that can become supply constraints. The theme connects minerals exposure to AI, power, defense, and energy transition themes without treating every miner as the same asset.
Other assets exposed to the same themes as RIO — a cross-sector view, not a correlation or forecast.
What would make this thesis wrong, and where the near-term downside sits. Plain reads, not forecasts.
Invalidation analysis is deferred to v2 and will use contribution-weighted headwind thresholds.
Price has run up faster than usual against the score — a stretched rally that can give back.
