Big copper producers shopping for smaller miners - Could ML-T Be Next?

* Top players eye developed assets over exploration

* Copper prices at record levels as supply fears grow

* Predators could also become prey as sector heats up (In U.S. dollars unless noted)

By Bhaswati Mukhopadhyay and Julie Gordon

BANGALORE/TORONTO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - A record run for copper prices, fueled by Chinese industrial demand, has the world's most prolific copper producers shopping for smaller miners capable of boosting their output almost immediately.

Dozens of Canadian-based juniors have the potential to become prime targets. The strongest candidates already have operating mines with healthy growth profiles, and their share prices are undervalued, analysts say.

The drive to acquire is especially urgent because the output at some of the world's top producers is falling. Rio Tinto (RIO.L) sees copper demand doubling in the next 15 to 20 years but the Anglo-Australian mining giant experienced a 16 percent drop in mined production last year.

"We really haven't developed the next generation of new mines in terms of finding large-scale projects," said analyst John Hughes at Desjardins Securities. "Without the next wave of proper supply, junior companies with large resources will continue to be targets for the larger mining companies."

As a consequence, senior producers such as First Quantum (FM.TO) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX.N), as well as Vale (VALE5.SA), BHP Billiton (BLT.L) and other diversified miners, will line up to buy established production rather than invest in development projects from scratch, analysts say.

"It takes such a long time to find something, then permit it, then build it, then ramp it up," said David Radclyffe, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets. "You're going to miss that leverage to the current price that you can get today."

Mercator expects 40% higher Cu, Mo production in 2011 2011-03-08 09:04 ET - News Release Mr. Michael Surratt reports MERCATOR ANNOUNCES 2011 PRODUCTION GUIDANCE, PHASE II UPDATE Production of copper and molybdenum for 2011 is projected to be approximately 40 per cent higher than 2010 at Mercator Minerals Ltd.'s wholly owned Mineral Park mine in Arizona. Copper production for 2011 is projected to be approximately 45.0 million pounds, as compared with 32 million pounds in 2010 and molybdenum production is projected to be approximately 6.0 million pounds, as compared with 4.3 million pounds in 2010. 2011 projected production by quarter First quarter 8.8 million pounds of copper; 900,000 pounds molybdenum. Second quarter 9.5 million pounds of copper; 1.0 million pounds of molybdenum. Third quarter 14.1 million pounds of copper; 1.8 million pounds of molybdenum. Fourth quarter 12.5 million pounds of copper; 2.3 million pounds of molybdenum. Copper production represents both copper in concentrate and copper cathode. The significant increases in the third and fourth quarter production levels are attributable to the increase in throughput resulting from the completion of the phase II plant expansion. Variability between copper and molybdenum weightings in the production profile are due to respective grade fluctuations in the 2011 mine plan. Phase II construction update Major milestones have either been achieved or are near completion in the phase II expansion program, including: The SAG mill is fully installed and operational. The second line of ball mills is mechanically installed and the motors are being set. The second water line is complete and the pump station upgrades are in progress. The concrete for the second set of rougher cells is 50 per cent complete. The main support structure for the second stacker is complete and all of the structural steel is on site. The second mill transformer is being installed. Phase II construction is expected to be completed by the end of June, followed by a ramp-up period culminating in full capacity throughput of 50,000 tons per day in August. "The expansion of Mineral Park continues on schedule and with the completion of phase II, the mine will become one of the largest operations in North America," said Mike Surratt, Mercator's president and chief executive officer.

Mercator Takeover Requires Shareholder Approval

* Says plan not in response to takeover offer

* Plan subject to shareholder approval

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Mercator Minerals (ML.TO), which owns the Mineral Park mine in Arizona, said on Wednesday it had adopted a shareholder rights plan to protect against a takeover, but not in response to a specific threat.

"Although it is not aware of any pending or threatened takeover initiatives directed at the company, Mercator's board of directors today approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan," the company said in a statement.

The poison pill defense is subject to shareholder approval and would be activated in the event of an entity trying to acquire more than 20 percent of the company's stock.

Global commodity prices are booming across the board on strong demand from ravenous markets in Asia, and metal producers are consolidating in a race to own more raw material resources.

Mercator runs the Mineral Park mine and is developing the El Pilar copper project in Mexico.

The Mineral Park mine produced 4.3 million pounds of molybdenum in 2010, as well as 32.2 million pounds of copper. Silver production for the year was 465,736 ounces.
