"They're primarily gold producers," he told CNBC. "Freeport is the biggest copper producer in the world...it's got a great portfolio, it only trades about seven times cash flow right now, they're going to increase their production of copper by about half a billion pounds next year; a lot of growth in the pipeline."
One special reason Winmill likes Freeport McMoRan is its involvement in the production of molybdenum.
"It doesn't trade in the futures market," he pointed out. "Molybdenum is used primarily for pipe, for drilling pipe for oil exploration, any kind of pipeline...it's a very strong market, and a small market."
