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.’

    New EU standards aim to secure the future of e-mobility! BYD, Nio, Group Eleven Resources, and VW

    With the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the European Union has been creating binding minimum standards for publicly accessible charging points since the beginning of 2026. In addition, new subsidies have been introduced in many EU countries to promote e-mobility, even though the coffers are empty due to high defense spending. Meanwhile, the overall European vehicle market came under noticeable pressure in January. According to the latest data from the industry association ACEA, new vehicle registrations fell by just under 4% compared to the previous year, marking the first decline in months and reflecting the difficult overall market. However, a clear trend is emerging within this development: electrification is continuing to advance and shifting market shares in favor of battery electric vehicles. At the same time, the next Middle East conflict is unfolding, with oil prices rising sharply above USD 82 per barrel of Brent. This is providing a strong tailwind for alternative drive systems that can withstand global hysteria. Risk-conscious investors should now revise their portfolio structures.

    The global raw materials landscape will undergo tremendous change in 2026. While electromobility is driving demand for copper and zinc to unprecedented heights, geopolitical tensions and supply chain risks are forcing Western industrialized nations to rethink their strategies. The race for strategic minerals is intensifying, supply bottlenecks are looming, and price explosions are becoming more likely. In this volatile environment, Volkswagen, Avrupa Minerals, and BHP Group are stepping into the spotlight. We take a look at their respective situations.

    Strategic raw materials: How Power Metallic Mines and FPX Nickel secure supply chains and what is important for Mercedes-Benz

    The automotive industry is at a critical turning point where the availability of strategic metals is no longer just a question of price, but a basic prerequisite for the transformation to electric mobility. Vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz are consistently aligning their production with an "electric-only strategy" and placing the upstream value chain for nickel, copper, and platinum group metals at the center of their planning. Securing these essential raw materials must be done under the strictest environmental, social, and ethical criteria in order to optimize the carbon footprint of the high-performance batteries produced and to meet the requirements of investors and regulatory authorities. In this market environment, specific solution providers from Canada are emerging, serving the rapidly growing demand for clean and transparent raw materials with fundamentally different exploration approaches.
