“The demand for copper is forecast to remain strong thanks to mega-trends of electrification, economic development, and population growth. Net copper shortages will drive high prices, needed to generate investment returns on the development of the lower-grade deposits that are currently being studied.”

Merlin Marr-Johnson, President and CEO, Fitzroy Minerals

“Our strategy is focused on building a resilient business that can thrive through commodity cycles. Long-term demand fundamentals remain strong, driven by electrification, infrastructure, and energy transition trends.”

Zac Dolesky, CEO, Super Copper

“A lot of the changes seen in investor sentiment are being driven by critical minerals policies and increased public knowledge of mining. With all the discussion surrounding critical minerals in the last five years, the general public is starting to see that mining is needed both for our daily lives and decarbonization.”

Paul Gow, CEO, Tribeca Resources

“The importance of minerals evolves over time. For example, two decades ago rare earth elements and lithium were not critical commodities yet today they are indispensable for modern technology.”
