Copper is one of the important metals in modern life. When it comes to the energy transition and the change in mobility, the red metal is of great importance. In the global competition between industrial market players, access and price therefore play an important role. Raw material nations such as Canada supply the market with the ingredient of countless technical devices, which are often produced in the Middle Kingdom. For this reason, it is particularly interesting to hear the opinion of an expert. Claudia Tornquist is the CEO of Kodiak Copper Corp. and is exploring for new copper deposits in British Columbia.

    What is your view on the current global copper market and what advice do you have for investors?

    ‘At this time there is a lot of uncertainty around the global economy with concerns about recession, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and more. This uncertainty weighs on copper prices and we have seen a reversal of sentiment in the market. Speculative investors have gone risk-off, even though the physical copper market remains robust, producers are reporting strong demand from customers and inventories remain at historical lows. If the sentiment turns, we could see the market rebound quickly.

    The long-term picture for copper remains extremely strong: big demand for the red metal driven by the green revolution, and very little supply to meet this demand. 85% of the world economy is now on a net-zero carbon goal and a lot of copper will be required to build the electric vehicles, wind and solar systems and transmission infrastructure to meet these targets. There are currently not enough new copper projects being developed to meet even modest growth forecasts and more copper discoveries are needed.

    That’s exactly the business Kodiak Copper is in, we made the Gate Zone copper porphyry discovery at our MPD project in Southern British Columbia, which is located in an established mining district with excellent infrastructure. The company is backed by a strong team led by founder and chairman Chris Taylor of Great Bear fame. Kodiak is currently executing a large, fully-funded 25,000 metre drill program and is well placed to generate shareholder value by expanding the Gate Zone which remains open in multiple directions plus testing multiple additional targets with similar discovery potential.’

    Up and down: Doublers and halvers among themselves! BYD, VW, DroneShield, and Power Metallic

    And once again, it is full steam ahead. While last year saw a sunny scenario in terms of returns for AI, defense, and silver stocks, these sectors are performing even better in the new year. Rumors of a physical silver shortage have now been confirmed by futures exchange warehouses. This could mean that the "one-way movement" in strategic metals will continue. Rumor has it that the shortages may even be spreading to a range of industrial metals. As the world's largest producer of these raw materials, China is tightening export controls and redirecting resources toward its domestic industry. Much of this is still unconfirmed, but the recent price explosion to over USD 12,000 for copper speaks volumes. Investors would be well advised to diversify their allocations to be ready for the most important developments!

    Stock Picking Alert! Power Metallic Mines – Set to Double? Puma and Evotec as Promising Turnarounds?

    The 2025 stock market year has produced many winners, but also some losers. Bullish commodity markets and project progress led to a jump in the share price of Canadian commodity company Power Metallic Mines at the beginning of the year. In December, the share price corrected, but the upward trend quickly resumed, buoyed by good drilling results. The Canadian company holds one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America, which has attracted many well-known investors this year. It is also worth taking a look at turnaround bets with takeover potential, such as Evotec and Puma.

    Geopolitical flashpoint: Why Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP stand to benefit from trade wars

    The global race for critical resources has entered an explosive phase. Driven by decarbonization and technological progress, structural shortages prevail. But now geopolitical power struggles are further heating up the situation: protectionist trade barriers and strategic control over supply chains are artificially reducing supply and catapulting the importance of independent producers into new spheres. In this environment, the strategies of commodity giants and emerging players are coming into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the positioning of Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP.
