Fortescue Metals (OTCQX:FSUMF) is an iron-ore producer based in the rich soils of the Pilbara in Western Australia. While it is a relatively new company, making its first shipment in 2008, it has rapidly made a name for itself with its low costs and tantalizing dividend yield. Although iron ore price projections are currently up for debate and the general consensus seems to be that it’s only a matter of time before things take a downward turn, we think the insatiable demand of Chinese steel producers can sustain the current demand far longer than the market expects. With this in mind we think it could be a good time to dig deep on this diamond in the rough.
