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.’

    Copper at an All-Time High — and No End in Sight: Lundin Mining, Power Metallic Mines and Ivanhoe Mines Stand to Benefit!

    Copper is the top performer this year amongst all exchange-traded metals and is trading at an all-time high. Strong demand is cited as the reason: global growth, AI data centres and the modernization of electricity grids in established industrialized nations. Yet the supply side is quickly forgotten, and it is the bottleneck. When copper was still cheap in the 2010s, there was hardly any investment. Over the years, fewer and fewer deposits have been discovered, and the pipeline of development projects is small. But the structural problems go even further. Many large mines are old, and their ore grades are declining. When, as in September 2025, a disaster such as the one at the Grasberg mine occurs, supply is thrown into disarray. Copper companies are benefiting from this more than ever. Companies that own producing mines today feel as though they are in a commodities paradise. But even those planning to start production in the coming years are likely to be among the winners. We are therefore taking a look today at the shares of Lundin Mining, Power Metallic Mines and Ivanhoe Mines.

    Billions from Washington and Brussels: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials Are Benefiting from the Boom

    Supply chains and raw materials security are increasingly becoming priorities for Western governments. While Washington is providing billions in funding for domestic mining projects, Brussels has ushered in a regulatory shift with the Critical Raw Materials Act. Government subsidy programs for critical raw materials are putting resource companies firmly in the spotlight. The effort to secure Western supply chains is particularly evident in the case of three companies whose news flow in August 2026 caught investors' attention: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials.

    Gold Rush—But Which One Is Better? DRC Gold, Ivanhoe Mines and Newmont in the Spotlight

    As central banks around the world resume buying gold and geopolitical turmoil shakes confidence in fiat currencies, one thing is clear: humanity's oldest form of currency is experiencing a renaissance. After a breathtaking record-breaking run that pushed the gold price to USD 5,600 per ounce at the beginning of the year, followed by a correction, gold has recently climbed dynamically back above the USD 4,600 threshold. But for gold investors, there has long been more to the market than just bullion and ETPs. Companies in the gold sector are profiting from the rally and, under certain circumstances, can even offer leverage on the precious metal. We introduce some exciting business models and take a look at Africa as well.
