Copper 360's Rietberg underground mine intersected copper sulphide mineralisation 16 meters above planned depth (300L), suggesting an earlier-than-modeled mineralised body that could expand resource estimates. Early intersections increase the probability of reserve expansion and reduce execution risk, potentially improving project economics.
Read original →Yukon Metals Corp. confirmed a new copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry-style mineral system at its Viper Prospect in Arizona. Discovery of polymetallic deposits expands exploration upside and potential future supply of copper and molybdenum.
Read original →NorthWest Copper reported drill results of 31.4 metres averaging 0.92% copper and 1.08 g/t gold (2.11% CuEq) at Kwanika Pit Zone in British Columbia. The assay demonstrates continuity in the ore body, supporting reserve expansion and project development timing.
Read original →Ivanhoe Mines reported Q3 copper production of 76,401 tonnes, representing a 30 percent increase in underground mining rates, though the company revised its full-year output target downward. Mining operational efficiency gains are insufficient to offset production challenges affecting annual guidance.
Read original →Jubilee Metals completed legal due diligence for the disposal of its Large Waste Project in Zambia, marking a key milestone toward asset disposition. The move reflects Zambian copper producers' efforts to streamline operations and optimize capital allocation in a commodity-dependent market.
Read original →The Democratic Republic of Congo will impose annual audits on major mining companies starting 2027 to enforce local-content and subcontracting compliance, expanding oversight in the world's largest cobalt and Africa's top copper producing nation. This matters to mining investors and supply chain planners because regulatory tightening in DRC—a critical source for cobalt and copper—increases compliance costs and reshapes procurement patterns for battery and semiconductor manufacturers.
Read original →Michael Burry, the 'Big Short' investor, is avoiding the AI sector and deploying capital into copper positions, including Brazilian copper miners, despite widespread technology sector enthusiasm for AI. This contrarian positioning reflects skepticism about AI valuations and renewed focus on commodity-linked infrastructure plays.
Read original →Koryx Copper completed assay results from 18 drill holes totaling 7,074 meters at the Haib copper-molybdenum-gold project in southern Namibia. This infill and expansion drilling advances development of a large-scale porphyry deposit critical to long-term copper and molybdenum supply.
Read original →ASX-listed Sultan Resources has applied for a 171.2 km² exploration licence in Namibia's Central Damara Orogen targeting copper and gold deposits near Kalkfeld. The move positions Sultan to capitalize on rising exploration interest in Namibia's established gold province while capturing emerging copper demand linked to EV electrification.
