TWO iron ore plays on the Singapore Exchange, both Malaysian-based, have been quite the rage as steel mills make good money and inventories shrink on higher demand. As prices of the sought-after reddish metal trended higher, so have the shares of those that mine and sell it.
Catalist-listed Fortress Minerals, for instance, enjoyed record sales volume in the nine months to November last year (the company has a February year-end). Its net profit for Q3 FY2021 was nearly double that for FY2020, and the counter has gained 25 per cent this year to close at 37.5 Singapore cents on April 6.
