Top 5 Ways To Trade Massive Global Demand For Copper

(MENAFN- Baystreet.ca) Top 5 Ways to Trade Massive Global Demand for Copper

Copper demand is only expected to rise. For one,“More than 700 million mt of copper will need to be mined in the next 22 years to maintain 3.5% GDP growth, without taking into account the electrification of the global economy, which is the same volume of copper ever mined, Ivanhoe Mines Founder & Co-Chair Robert Friedland,” as noted by S&P Global. In addition, the world could run into a 9 million mt copper deficit by 2030, as noted by BMO Capital. All while demand increases for electric vehicles, solar and wind-power technology, and power grids. In fact, as also noted by S&P Global,“All power grids globally were unreliable, with huge investment needed to upgrade aging grids -- in the US alone, he said investment of about $208 billion was needed by 2029 and around $338 billion by 2039.” All could drive significant interest to companies, such as CopperCorp Resources Inc. (TSXV: CPER) (OTCQB: CPCPF), Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX), Southern Copper Corporation (NYSE: SCCO), Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE: TECK), and Turquoise Hill Resources (NYSE: TRQ).

CopperCorp Resources Inc. announced that it has received preliminary assay results for a further two drill holes from the Alpine Stellar Zone located in the Company's AMC Project, western Tasmania, Australia.

Highlights

1. Significant mineralized intercepts include:

2. These results continue to confirm the Company's interpretation of multiple continuous, broad zones of copper mineralization at the Alpine Stellar Zone, defined to date over a strike length of 700m and open and to a vertical depth of 300m and open.

3. These results are also encouraging in further confirming the trend of these mineralized zones towards the yet untested Alpine West target, scheduled to be drilled in the next several months. Including Alpine West the prospective strike length is approximately 2.2km.

4. CopperCorp is now drilling holes to test continuity of the interpreted zones of copper mineralization to depth. Drilling is also planned to step out on these zones along strike.

Stephen Swatton, President and CEO of CopperCorp, stated,“Drill confirmation of the continuation of wide zones of copper mineralization in these drill holes is very encouraging and confirms our initial interpretation that the copper rich mineralized system hosted in multiple broad, sub-parallel steeply dipping zones is robust. This bodes well for finding further copper mineralization at Alpine Stellar Zone and other identified targets in the West and North Zones which lie adjacent to Stellar (as reported in the May 11 News release). Further drill results are expected to be released within the next 30 days as the laboratory catches up on the recent backlog of samples submitted for analysis.”

Southern Copper Corporation recently posted fourth quarter earnings . 2021 marked another important year in Southern Copper's history. This year, net sales, net income, adjusted EBITDA and cash from operations hit record highs. 4Q21 net sales were $2,823.7 million, which represented a 20.1% increase with regard to 4Q20's figure. Growth was primarily fueled by higher metal prices for our main products, which was partially offset by a decrease in the sales volume at our Peruvian operations due to bi-annual maintenance at the Ilo smelter. Metal prices increased for copper (+35.4%, LME); molybdenum (+107.5%); and zinc (+28.6%). 2021 net sales hit a record high of $10,934.1 million, which represented an increase of 36.9% over the figure reported in 2020. This growth was mainly driven by higher market metal prices for all our main products. Metal prices increased for copper (+51.1%, LME); molybdenum (+81.0%); zinc (+32.0%); and silver (+22.1%). The cooper sales volume decreased 11% for the year due to a drop in sales of copper supplied from third parties and shipment delays; the latter was attributable to the COVID 19 pandemic. Net income in 4Q21 was $833.0 million, which represented a 41.1% increase with regard to the $590.2 million registered in 4Q20. The net income margin in 4Q21 was 29.5%, versus 25.1% in 4Q20.
