Place Your Bets – Profiting from Copper’s Pending Supply Crunch
Recording date: 23rd January 2024
The Battery Show (Copper Bottomed, Episode 12)
Betting on Copper’s Supply Crunch
Copper prices have pulled back recently amidst a stronger dollar and concerns over a cooling Chinese economy. However, a compelling opportunity is emerging for investors willing to look past short-term volatility – the coming copper supply crunch. New discoveries and mine capacity expansions are not keeping pace with global demand growth and existing operation grade declines. As major producer Chile highlights, copper output could fail to surpass 2% annual growth this decade versus estimates near a 3% historical rate. Yet copper’s essential applications from electric vehicles to power infrastructure leave consumption marching steadily higher. This backdrop points to material pricing power shifts toward copper miners as buyers compete for inadequate future supply.
Astute investors can position early with select copper developers and explorers ahead of the crowd. These companies offer substantial upside potential before positive supply-demand fundamentals grab wider attention across the copper sector. For example, QC Copper & Gold already holds 12 billion pounds of copper resources amenable to open pit mining in Quebec, but trades around a paltry $25 million valuation. As permitting and feasibility studies progress, QC’s fundamentals plainly outweigh its current market capitalization. Targeted explorers like American Eagle Gold also offer huge lift potential from new discoveries before enough drill success gets priced into share values. American Eagle recently hit an impressive 302 meters at over 1% copper equivalent on its British Columbia project.:
The copper market outlook offers perhaps the most bullish set-up among commodities this decade. Yet it remains overlooked relative to historic copper bull runs. Value-focused investors can capitalize early on coming pricing strength by identifying assets and equities substantially disconnected from copper’s positive underlying supply and demand drivers.
