"I read in an article a short time ago that mining was one of 2021's best performing sectors despite a slow start to the year. Citi analysts are predicting another solid year. With the need for rare earth metals and electric vehicles, I expect mining to be a strong performer in the years to come. How do you feel the outlook will be for this industry in the years to come?"

Well, given the increase in commodity prices over the past year I think earnings will be down slightly from last year, which was a record year for the company. Nonetheless, I think it's pretty clear that 2023 and 2024 will be strong years for the company and the metals and mining industry. There are still tailwinds from the energy transition that will keep profits high.
