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.’

    BHP Group, Power Metallic Mines, and Freeport-McMoRan: How to Profit from the Global Copper Shortage

    • Copper
    • PGMs
    • Electrification

    Copper is the hidden backbone of global electrification. It flows through power grids, powers wind and solar farms, and supplies energy to data centers and electric vehicles. Without this metal, the energy transition remains nothing more than a promise. Copper has long since become a strategic commodity that directly reflects investment cycles and geopolitical tensions. Demand is booming, but supply is expensive, labour-intensive, and politically sensitive to develop. It is precisely this tension that makes copper a barometer for the industry of the future. For investors, this means that those who understand today which companies will reach the next production stage can secure return opportunities early on. Today, we look at BHP Group as an established giant focused on copper, Power Metallic Mines as a promising explorer with recent high-grade discoveries, and Freeport-McMoRan as a direct lever on the copper price.

    No copper, no AI! Freeport McMoran, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining in Focus

    • Mining
    • PGMs
    • Copper
    • AI

    The whole world is focused on AI stocks like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron Technologies. Behind the scenes, however, demand for raw materials like copper is also growing massively. An AI data center requires enormous amounts of the red metal per megawatt of installed capacity—primarily for power distribution, grounding, and transformers. The demand for copper in AI-optimized data centers is estimated at 30 to 40 metric tonnes per megawatt. Added to this is network infrastructure, where, for example, Nvidia relies on a custom-designed copper cabling system for the internal cabling of its latest NVL72 server architecture. A single AI server rack contains kilometres of copper cabling, as copper offers lower latency and lower power consumption over very short distances compared to alternative materials. And behind the scenes, power grids must be upgraded and expanded. The CRU Group therefore forecasts that global copper demand from data centers and AI alone will rise from around 500,000 metric tonnes today to as much as 2 million metric tonnes annually by 2030. BHP expects global copper demand to increase by an additional 3.4 million metric tonnes by 2030. And this is where the problem comes in. Copper supply cannot grow that quickly, which is why copper prices are also rising steadily. Today, we are looking at the stocks of Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining.

    The era of raw materials is already here: geopolitical tensions and future technologies are driving the market. The traditional procurement model based on global spot markets is increasingly reaching its limits. It is being replaced by direct participation of leading industrial and technology conglomerates in mining and raw materials companies. Increasingly, this is happening even at very early-stage development companies. Companies such as Power Metallic Mines are responding to this trend and, even before production begins, are developing into platforms for ESG-compliant supply chains. We take a closer look at the market and the associated opportunities.
