Analyst Report Highlights Major Upside in Cobre’s Botswana Copper Play

Description

Cobre Limited (ASX:CBE) is gaining attention for its expansive exploration efforts across highly prospective copper and quartz tenements in Botswana and Western Australia. A recent report by Independent Investment Research (IIR) highlights Cobre’s growing potential in the copper sector, especially within the underexplored yet mineral-rich Kalahari Copper Belt.

Key Highlights from the IIR report:

Botswana: High-grade Copper in Elephant Country

At the core of Cobre’s portfolio is its 100 percent owned Kalahari copper project (KCP) in northwestern Botswana, an emerging global copper hotspot. The project spans 5,393 sq km across four key tenement blocks – Ngami, Okavango, Kitlanya East and Kitlanya West. It sits adjacent to major producing assets owned by Sandfire Resources and MMG, which together hold 7 million tonnes of copper and nearly 300 million ounces of silver in resources.

  • BHP Joint Venture: A US$25 million, 8-year earn-in agreement gives BHP up to 75% of the Kitlanya East and West projects, with Cobre retaining operatorship during the earn-in phase.
  • Ngami ISCL Opportunity: At Ngami, Cobre is targeting an in-situ copper leach (ISCL) development. Testwork has returned copper recoveries of up to 82 percent, with exploration targets of up to 167 Mt @ 0.45 percent copper.
  • Okavango Upside: Limited drilling has shown promising signs, along strike from MMG’s Khoemacau operation.

Western Australia: High-purity Quartz (HPQ) for the Energy Transition

At Perrinvale, Cobre is exploring a quartz unit with grades up to 99.6 percent silica, which is critical for electronics, solar photovoltaics and semiconductors. A published exploration target of up to 28.3 Mt and encouraging metallurgical results have attracted early interest from potential partners, including Malaysian group GK Silica.

Strategic Position and Financial Snapshot

Cobre remains well-positioned financially, with approximately AU$3 million in cash and investments as of March 2025. The company’s shareholder base is tightly held, with insiders owning over 7 percent and cornerstone investor Strata Investment Holdings controlling nearly 20 percent.

Silver Reserves: Top 5 Countries

Silver investors are usually interested in which countries produce the most ounces of the metal.

After all, if a nation is producing an abundance of the white metal, many mining companies are likely operating there, and profitable investment opportunities may be available.

However, it’s also worth looking at silver reserves, which are a country’s economically mineable silver supply. In general, the world’s largest global silver producers also have high silver reserves that are worth learning about, but some countries with high silver reserves are not mining much of the metal.

Where there’s room to grow silver mine supply, there may be money to be made as well. For that reason, precious metals investors should also be aware of which countries may eventually become silver supply powerhouses.

How to Invest in Silver: Buying Bullion, Stocks and More

For investors wondering how to invest in silver, this guide covers the basics of the top options for silver investing: buying silver bullion, silver stocks, silver ETFs and silver futures.

Silver has long been an attractive vehicle not only for storing wealth, but for generating it too. Silver bugs rave about the growth opportunities to be had in a price rally. However, what goes up must come down, and the silver market is prone to deep dives, providing buying opportunities.

Investing in silver and gold is similar, but the nuances of both merit learning about them individually. Silver often trades similarly to fellow precious metal gold, meaning its significantly lower price point offers investors a more affordable method for hedging against volatility. Silver also has growing industrial demand from clean energy and electrification sectors.

Check out our beginner's guide to silver investing below, including links to in-depth guides and silver stock and ETF lists for when you're ready to go deeper.
