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.’

    A leading gold producer realised an average of USD 4,249 per ounce in the third quarter, up 23% from a year earlier. The business therefore remains lucrative, even though the gold price recently slipped below USD 3,900. This plays into producers' hands, albeit in very different ways. Large producers benefit from wide margins, explorers can hope for growing interest in new projects if prices remain high, and companies with strong cash flow can invest or return money to their shareholders. We therefore take a closer look today at Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and Kinross Gold.

    "Ultimately, it is all a question of supply and demand". The well-known commodities investor Jimmy Rogers reduced a fundamental stock market rule to this simple formula. Several areas determine how quickly AI and digitalisation can advance. Raw materials, energy infrastructure and memory technology must work together. The companies mentioned address different points. Power Metallic Mines aims to develop a high-quality polymetallic deposit in Québec. An important milestone is the indicative valuation announced for the first half of 2027. Business is booming at Siemens Energy and even more so at Micron. Is the air getting thinner, or do the shares still have a long run ahead of them?

    International capital markets are currently caught between macroeconomic headwinds from sharply rising interest rates and lucrative, targeted opportunities. While restraint in corporate investment is forcing established providers to exercise strategic cost discipline, the global race for critical raw materials and key metals is driving exploration projects forward at a rapid pace. At the same time, a higher energy price environment and strategic gains from equity holdings at commodity producers are leading to surprisingly dynamic upward earnings revisions. Investors once again face the challenge of separating merely temporary one-off effects from sustainable operating earnings power.
