  This hasn't been a great year for mining stocks, and for iron ore miners in particular, as slower growth in China has cut into demand, while past investments in new mines have added to supply. But shares of Vale have decidedly underperformed shares of competitors such as BHP Billiton (BHP) and Ri! o Tinto (RIO) because of the uncertainty of this tax case. The amount of the government claim is, after all, three times net profit from 2012. In the last 12 months, shares of Vale were down 5.03% as of November 19, while shares of BHP Billiton were up 4.04% and shares of Rio Tinto were ahead 10.37%.

  A good - actually, nearly perfect - proxy for estimating POT's replacement value is the estimated cost of BHP Billiton's (BHP) Jansen Project, a large potash project in Saskatchewan, where POT is based. The Jansen project is expected to achieve a capacity of 8 million tonnes a year at an estimated cost of $16 billion dollars. Thus, by way of simple mathematics, POT's potash capacity alone is worth approximately $32 billion dollars. Since POT is currently trading at $26 billion, this implies that the whole company is trading at $6 billion less than its potash capacity alone.
