New Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin Miner Joins Ranks With The World’s Top Mining Farms
The $1 Trillion renewable energy market is sending copper demand soaring.
Editorial Feature | August 3, 2023
Discovery why analysts are calling copper ‘the most important metal in the world’...
And why savvy investors are positioning themselves for copper’s potentially eye-popping bull-run.
The world is gearing up for an extraordinary leap towards renewable energy. And while lithium, cobalt, and rare earth metals may steal the headlines…
Another resource is set to play an even more vital role: Copper.
In fact, copper is being called the ‘irreplaceable’ raw material for renewable energy. And some of the world’s top analysts see the red metal soaring in the coming months:
Financial Times says, “Copper prices will surge to a record high this year”.
Citigroup proclaims, “Buy Copper Now Before the Rally to $15,000”.
And Goldman Sach’s says, “Copper is the new oil”.
So if you allow me the next few minutes, I’ll explain why copper could be one of the hottest investment opportunities of the next decade.
I’ll also share how investors can position themselves to take advantage of copper’s potential bull run with one little known explorer…
How the company has acquired a massive land package in Canada’s longest mineral belt, the Quesnel Trough…
How its 100%-owned project – the Copper Dome Project – is right next door to one of the largest copper mines in Canada.
And how historical drill results have already confirmed the presence of high-grade copper.
Listen, opportunities like this don’t come around very often.
The company is planning a comprehensive drill program within the next few months – and the timing couldn’t be better.
But more on that in just a minute.
First, let me show you why the red metal may be about to go on a run that could…
“Make oil’s 2008 bull run look like child’s play”
Remember when oil traded for only $10 a barrel? And how prices surged to past $140 in 2008?
A similar move may happen with copper…
In fact, copper is already starting to climb: Prices hit an all-time high last year1, and according to Bloomberg, it’s the top-performing industrial metal this year.2
But this could just be the tip of the iceberg…
Some of the world’s top analysts predict copper prices are about to soar – high above 2022’s record prices.
Billionaire investors like Robert Friedland, George Soros, and Ken Griffin are already positioning themselves in copper stocks to ride the wave higher. 3
Singapore trading house Trafigura forecasts “Copper price to surge to record high this year”4
Citigroup said it’s an “ideal time”5– because the bank believes the price of copper could double by 2025.6
They’re advising investors to “Buy Copper Now Before the Rally to $15,000”.7
But even that projection could be far too low…
Max Layton, the Managing Director of Commodities Research for Citi, believes copper could be on the cusp of a jump that would “make oil’s 2008 bull run look like child’s play.”8
What could that mean for copper? Think about it like this…
In the 2000s, a 5% supply-demand gap led crude oil to rally 7.5x higher – from $20 a barrel to almost $150.9
But unlike oil, analysts today aren’t projecting just a 5% copper squeeze… they’re projecting a 15% gap this decade.
If copper follows a similar trajectory to oil, that means prices could jump over 22x their current levels.
Even Goldman Sachs is calling copper ‘the new oil’.10
The renowned investment bank thinks copper is on the cusp of a major move. In fact, Jeffrey Currie, Global head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs said, “The forward outlook is extraordinarily positive… like oil in the 2000s, you’ve got to11
The Most Important Metal in the World
Copper is such a critical part of the energy industry that it’s being called “the most important metal in the world”12.
In fact, it’s almost impossible to replace copper. Here’s why…
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity – 5-times better than nickel, almost twice as good as aluminum, and over 10-times better than lead.13 This allows for an efficient transfer of energy, minimizing power losses during both transmission and distribution.
It has a low resistance rating, which makes it ideal for high-powered applications like power lines and low-voltage wiring.
And it’s also unmatched in its malleability and pliability – meaning it is easily shaped and stretched without breaking.14
While traditional power sources (like coal, nuclear power, and natural gas) rely heavily on copper… renewable energy can use up to 6 times more!15
In fact, copper will play a key role in the renewable energy revolution…
- It’s used extensively in wind turbines – in the generator coils, transformers and electric cables. According to the International Energy Agency, wind turbines can require 9 tons of copper per MW… that’s more than most African elephants weigh, the largest land animal on earth17! For comparison, wind turbines require less than half a ton of nickel – roughly the size of a seal18… and minimal amounts of lithium and cobalt.19
- It’s also a crucial element in solar panels – used in the wiring, busbars, and connectors within the panels. Solar power needs over 3 tons of copper per MW – while requiring insignificant amounts of lithium, nickel or cobalt.20
- It’s integral in renewable energy storage – found within the batteries and supercapacitors storing the renewable energy, and within the conductive components enhancing the efficiency and durability of energy storage.
- And it’s a necessary component for electric vehicle engines and charging stations. Electric vehicles need over 117 lbs of copper per MW – more than the amount of nickel and cobalt combined… and almost 6-times the amount of lithium required.21
The tremendous need for the red metal has led to investment research firm DDQINVEST calling it “the irreplaceable raw material for renewable energy”21.
And that’s why companies exploring for this crucial resource – especially those in safe, western jurisdictions could be in a prime position to capitalize on the new energy economy.
The Best Place to Look for a Mine is Next to an Existing One
This company is hunting for the world’s next major copper deposit.
Its flagship Copper Dome Project is located within Canada’s longest mineral belt, the Quesnel Trough.
The Quesnel Trough is a Triassic-Jurassic age arc of volcano sedimentary rock and hosts a number of large alkalic copper-gold deposits. It’s home to:
- The Copper Mountain Mine, that has produced over $1.7 BILLION pounds of copper in its lifetime.
- The Highland Valley Mine, which is one of the world’s largest open pit mines22, and produces an estimated 143,000 tons of copper per year.23
- The New Afton Mine, rich in both gold and copper, and producing over 41,000 ounces of gold per year along with 15,000 tons of copper.24
- The Mount Polley Mine, which is targeting a 2023 production of 16,500 tons of copper and 40,000 ounces of gold.
- And the Mount Milligan Mine, which produced 189,000 ounces of gold and almost 37,000 tons of copper last year.
It is one of the most mineral rich regions in Canada – an ideal place to hunt for valuable troves of copper. And it’s over 600 miles long!25
Another advantage of Quesnel Trough deposits is that they can have tremendous depth potential – meaning, they can have significant tonnage.26 More tonnage means more copper. And this is exactly what this company is hoping to find…
You see, it isn’t just located within Canada’s longest mineral belt… It’s right next door to the Copper Mountain Mine.
Mineral deposits tend to form in clusters within prolific geologic belts – like the Quesnel Trough.
This company’s Copper Dome Project’s northern border neighbors the existing Copper Mountain Mine – one of the largest copper mines in Canada.
The Copper Mountain Mine is targeting an average annual production of 69,000 tons of copper. It has historically produced 1.7 billion pounds of copper, along with 700,000 ounces of gold, and 9 million ounces of silver!27
That’s a resource worth over $8 billion (and counting). 28
And the Copper Dome Project is less than a mile from the Mine’s open pits.
While proximity can be very important when locating a new mineral deposit, the company also has historical drill results on its side…
Historical Drilling Confirms High-Grade Copper
In 2009, high grade rock samples returned values of 43% copper, and a 3 meter sample returned 15.76%.
But that’s not all, historical drilling results have confirmed the presence of high-grade copper with gold deposits.
Within the Friday Creek Zone of the Copper Dome Project, a 42.5 meter drill contained 0.28% copper, including 1.5% in 6 meters.
And within the Combination Creek Zone, a 19.5 meter drill returned 0.71% copper, including 2 meters of 4.08% and 1.25 meters of 6.44%.
To put that figure in perspective, the Copper Mountain Mine has an average of 0.24% copper…
This company also believes previous drilling at its Road Haul Zone could indicate additional deposits. Two separate holes drilled over 500 meters each were on the edge of high chargeability and medium chargeability zones.
Polarization is a well-established geophysical method for porphyry exploration. Simply put, copper and gold bearing minerals found in porphyry deposits often form in a way that causes the ground to hold an electric charge – similar to how a battery in a car will hold a charge. Often the more chargeable the ground… the more abundant the copper and gold minerals are within the ground.29
Now, it’s too early to say if historical drill results will prove out a similar resource at the Copper Dome Project. But initial indications are that the project hosts geological similarities to the neighboring Copper Mountain Mine which warrant further exploration.
This includes potential gold and silver mineralization which could help offset copper production costs, increasing a potential mine’s profitability.
And they’re planning a comprehensive 8,200 foot drill program this fall to further explore the Copper Dome in the coming months – the timing of which couldn’t be better.
What to do now…
The company has locked down an exciting exploration project next to a major producing mine. Historical results indicate the presence of potentially high-grade mineralization. And it’s submitted a comprehensive drill permit, hoping to start its drill program as early as October of this year…
This could be your chance before drill results hit the ground.
