Anax Metals Corporate Update
Anax Metals Limited (ASX: ANX, Anax, or the Company) is pleased to provide an update to the market on its corporate strategy focused on the recommencement of production at the Whim Creek Copper Project (Project), located 115km southwest of Port Hedland in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Project is 80% owned by Anax with the remaining 20% owned by Develop Global Limited (ASX: DVP, Develop).
- Strengthened copper prices have enhanced the Whim Creek economics by 32% providing a Pre-Tax NPV7 of $357M and IRR of 74%.*
- The planned 8-year mine life will generate ~$520M in free cash.*
- Potential to increase open pit mine-life and cashflow through re- optimisation at higher commodity prices.
- Evelyn and Salt Creek copper resource extension exploration to be prioritized in the coming field season.
- Studies for the regional processing hub strategy have commenced.
- The Sulphur Springs Oxide/Transitional leaching test work at the CSIRO completed.
- Project financing and strategic partnering discussions progressing.
Anax’s Managing Director, Geoff Laing commented: “The Whim Creek asset continues to shape up as a strategic processing hub for the Pilbara. The robust standalone project delivers attractive economic outcomes which are highly leveraged to base metal prices.
The recent increase in copper and other key metal prices has significantly enhanced project financial metrics. Anax is ideally positioned to benefit from the positive momentum building in copper demand on the back of its critical role in electrification and green technologies
The team has worked diligently to ensure the Whim Creek asset is ready for near term production of key energy metals while establishing a platform for growth through the processing hub and resource extensions.”
Figure 1: Location of the Whim Creek Project
Strengthening copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold prices adds significant momentum to Whim Creek’s near-term development and recommencement of operations. Key outcomes from the Whim Creek Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)1 and Heap Leach Study2 based on current metal price and exchange rate inputs provides a ~32% improvement in the Whim Creek financial outcome and would generate circa $520 million free cash, a Pre-Tax NPV7 of $357M and an IRR of 74%* (noting that the DFS1 and Heap Leach Study2 outputs from March and September 2023 provided an NPV7 of $270M and IRR of 55%, respectively).
Furthermore, price assumptions used in open pit optimisations in the DFS were markedly lower than current commodity prices as shown in Table 1.

True North Copper Commences Mining at Wallace North, QLD
True North Copper Limited (ASX: TNC) (TNC or the Company) is pleased to announce mining operations at its Wallace North deposit in northern Queensland have commenced, with clearing activities and blast hole drilling underway.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Mining activities at True North Copper’s Wallace North deposit, part of its Cloncurry Copper Project (CCP) in Queensland, have commenced with clearing and blast hole drilling underway
- TNC is on track to become Australia’s next copper producer and critical metals supplier via its restart of CCP
- CCP is estimated to generate free cash flow of ~$200 million at current copper spot prices over its initial 4.6-year mine life1
- TNC has binding offtake and toll milling agreements with Glencore International AG (Glencore)2 for 100% of copper concentrate from CCP and for toll milling of up to 1Mt of ore per year
- Recent executive appointments have bolstered TNC’s executive team ahead of operations restart.
Wallace North is part of True North Copper’s Cloncurry Copper Project (CCP) and one of four open-pit deposits making up CCP. Wallace North has an Ore Reserve totalling 0.7Mt (Probable) grading 1.01% Cu and 0.46g/t Au for 6.8kt Cu and 10.0koz Au3.
TNC will operate dry hire equipment at Wallace North, which its own personnel will operate, with most mining equipment already on site. Dewatering of the pit area is well advanced, with all blast hole drilling expected to be in dry holes.
A recruitment process for the operations team is close to finalisation, and a supportive technical team is in place ready for mining to start.
True North Copper’s newly appointed Managing Director Bevan Jones said: “We have commenced mining operations at Wallace North, which will allow our CCP to restart copper production. This has been our major goal since listing on the ASX. I thank our team for their efforts in moving towards this goal to allow TNC to become Australia’s next copper and critical metals producer.
“CCP is estimated to deliver free cash flow of about $200 million at current prices over its 4.6-year initial mine life, based on existing JORC Reserves. Cash flow from mining will be used to explore further opportunities to build this inventory.”
Mining ramp-up will initially build ore stockpiles, with road haulage expected to start within a few weeks of startup. Oxide ore will be transported by road train to TNC’s Cloncurry Operations Hub's (COH) heap leach. Sulphide ore will be transported to a nearby concentrator for toll treatment under TNC's toll-milling agreement with Glencore International AG.
The COH is 2km from the town of Cloncurry in northern Queensland and will service all four of TNC’s deposits with essential infrastructure, technical systems and support. An active oxide heap leach and solvent extraction (SX) processing plant, mine buildings, site administration facilities, workshops, open pit mine facilities, onsite explosive magazines, site storage, water management systems and existing site power supply are located at the COH.

A Look at Historical Copper Prices (Updated 2024)
Copper has had a volatile few years; however, amid various ups and downs, prices for the red metal hit an all-time high on May 20, 2024, trading at US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX.
Interestingly, by looking backwards it’s easy to see that this spike was an expected feature of the long-term picture for copper prices. The red metal has rebounded after a downtrend from about 2011 to 2015, and over the last few decades prices have increased even more dramatically.
Case in point — at the time of its new high in May 2024, the copper price has increased over 500 percent since January 2000. Although this impressive major increase doesn't account for inflation, it's still a sizeable gain. Let's take a deeper dive into copper prices going back even further.
What factors have impacted copper prices historically?
So what’s the best way to view historical copper prices? According to Stefan Ioannou of Cormark Securities, it’s most pragmatic to look at historical copper prices since the 1970s or 1980s.
That’s because of the rise of modern heap-leach technology. Leaching has long been used in mining operations, but the method in its modern form didn’t start gaining popularity until around 1980.
“That fundamentally changed the way we mine copper,” Ioannou explained. “Up until then, a lot of copper mining was for the most part focused on sulfide mineralization producing a copper concentrate that you’d send to a smelter. With heap-leach technology, all of a sudden the giant porphyries (and) the oxidized caps associated with large porphyries down in South America became viable.”
That sounds like good news for increasing copper supply, but as Ioannou noted, large-scale deposits are often low grade, meaning that they’re more costly to mine despite relatively cheap heap-leaching methods.
While Ioannou said supply and demand dynamics are the main driver for prices, grade and production costs are factors as well. Demand for copper keeps growing, and he suggested that since “the low-hanging fruit has been mined,” miners must increasingly go after more difficult, large, low-grade and costly deposits.
“The price of copper dictates how low you can go on the grade,” he said. “Back pre-1970s, I’m guessing a lot of copper was coming from a lot higher-grade mines … as we’ve been mining more and more of these large-scale deposits that are low grade, the cost on a per-pound basis has gone up.”
What else has driven historical copper prices?
Interestingly, some take another view on the historical performance of the copper price.
Richard Schodde, managing director at MinEx Consulting, gave a presentation on the subject back in 2010 that looks at a longer timeframe — 110 years, to be exact.
On that scale, historical copper prices have dropped significantly since the 1910s. In 2015, Schodde told the Investing News Network by email that real copper prices had dropped about 50 percent since 1910, and that production costs have also fallen due to economies of scale and advances in mining and processing technologies.
That might not sound like good news for copper, but Schodde viewed the drop as good overall. He thinks the industry will continue to innovate in order to exploit lower-grade deposits and meet growing global demand.
Plus, it’s worth considering where you get in. Looking at the graph below from Schodde, it wouldn’t be ideal if you invested in copper back in the 1910s. It all comes down to strategy, timing and, frankly, a bit of luck.
Copper price vs. average operating costs, 1900 to 2009.
Chart via MinEx Consulting.
How does supply and demand shape copper prices?
Many supply and demand factors have contributed to the movement of historical copper prices over the years. For example, a report from the US Geological Survey notes that the Vietnam War meant strong demand in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, leading to price controls to limit domestic copper prices.
Much later, in July 1998, prices “had fallen to their lowest level since the Great Depression,” while an earlier production boom in the 1980s led prices to fall on the back of resulting oversupply.
Historical copper prices from July 1988 to June 2024.
Global demand for copper is currently dominated by China, and those following the resource market will no doubt remember a large spike in Chinese demand that sent prices for copper and other commodities soaring in recent years. China is still a strong copper demand driver, with the most recent data showing that it was the largest consumer of refined copper at an estimated 6.75 million metric tons in 2023.
Macroeconomic volatility has impacted the Asian nation’s copper demand, and it’s tough to say what’s going to happen moving forward. Analysts have noted that the country’s infrastructure and property sectors, both of which require large amounts of copper and other commodities, are also showing signs of weakness.
On the supply side, a report from the World Bureau of Metal Statistics showed that as of April 2024, the global refined copper supply shortage came in at 120,900 MT, due in large part to declining copper mine production from Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTCQX:AAUKF). The closure of First Quantum Minerals' (TSX:FM,OTC Pink:FQVLF) Cobre Panama mine and declining production at Chile’s Chuquicamata mine are also impacting copper mine supply at present.
What’s next for copper?
In the short term, copper price volatility is still in the cards due to market uncertainties, including prolonged supply chain challenges, sticky inflation and the threat of recession in the global economy.
However, some analysts are quite optimistic looking longer term. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) has expressed confidence that copper’s long-term fundamentals remain strong with a clear structural bull story. The firm sees copper prices reaching US$15,000 per metric ton (or US$6.80 per pound) by 2025.

How to Invest in Copper (Updated 2024)
Copper has long been held up as a key indicator of global economic health, and as the world electrifies it's taking on a new shine, making it a potentially compelling choice for green-minded investors.
Often called Dr. Copper, copper is one of the most followed base metals, and its high ductility and electrical conductivity make it the third most consumed industrial metal, behind iron ore and aluminum, as per the US Geological Survey.
Given its attributes, copper is often used for electrical purposes such as power transmission and generation. And like its base metal sibling nickel, it has a major role in the electric vehicle revolution, with experts at S&P Global expecting consumption of copper to jump 20 percent by 2035 due to demand from the green energy market.
Read on to get an idea of the supply and demand dynamics that move the copper price, as well as how to invest.
What factors impact copper supply and demand?
Copper supply is prone to disruptions in various capacities: environmental events, worker strikes, economic fluctuations and so on. For that reason, it's important to keep an eye on what’s happening in the world’s major copper producers, such as Chile, Peru and China. Global events like the COVID-19 pandemic can also play a role in market dynamics.
Indeed, copper had a breakout year in 2021. Copper futures on the London Metal Exchange reached what was then a new peak of over US$10,700 per metric ton on the back of higher demand projections.
In May 2022, the red metal repeated that performance to reach another fresh high of US$10,845, propelled upward by expectations of strong demand from electric vehicle and renewable energy applications. The metal's price on the COMEX also reached new highs on a per pound basis in 2021 and 2022.
Copper supply and demand are also being affected by Russia's war in Ukraine, which has contributed to higher energy prices and other inflationary pressures. Russia is one of the top copper-producing countries.
“This had the twin effect of slowing both demand and supply growth, which helped to keep the copper market relatively tight,” Dan Smith, head of research at Amalgamated Metal Trading, told the Investing News Network at the end of 2022. “We have seen some big swings in prices this year, but with so much uncertainty about the war in Ukraine and the potential for a ban on Russian metal, this was to be expected.”
China, another top copper-producing country, is also the world's largest consumer of the red metal, and fluctuations in the strength of its economy often have major implications for copper prices. This was the story for 2023 as prices declined to as low as US$7,812 in October alongside the worsening crisis in China’s real estate market. The industry represents a whopping 30 percent of the country’s GDP and is a primary consumer of the red metal.
Although China’s economic woes are persisting in 2024, global copper mine supply is tightening at the same time as copper demand from the energy transition rises. The closure of First Quantum Minerals' (TSX:FM,OTC Pink:FQVLF) Cobre Panama mine, guidance cuts from Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTCQX:AAUKF) and declining production at Chile’s Chuquicamata mine are exacerbating an already tenuous supply situation.
These complex dynamics led the copper price to climb by nearly 35 percent from the start of this year to reach its highest recorded COMEX price of US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464, on May 20. Copper also broke its futures high that day, trading at a price of US$11,104.50 on the London Metal Exchange.
Looking forward, the consensus among experts is that although copper may face short-term headwinds, its long-term future looks solid. Some market watchers have big-picture concerns for copper output, predicting that prices for the red metal will remain high well into the future as supply struggles to keep up with demand.
What are the ways to invest in copper?
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures and mining stocks are common methods of investing in copper.
For investors looking to invest in physical copper, purchasing copper is possible, and copper is sold in rounds and bars of various weights. However, due to its relatively cheap price per pound compared to other common investment metals, a decent physical copper position would take up a lot space, making physical copper an inefficient investment option.
In the case of a copper ETF, investors are able to access the copper market indirectly by looking at funds focused on copper or copper-mining companies. ETFs are seen as a lower-risk way to invest.
Meanwhile, copper futures contracts give investors a chance to take part in the market in another fashion — according to InvestingAnswers, “(Futures) allow buyers and sellers to ‘lock in’ the price at which they buy or sell an asset in the future.” This can create a safety net for investors while still providing copper price exposure; however, on the flip side, the leverage that futures trading provides can make it a risky endeavor best left to professionals.
Lastly, there are copper stocks, which can be risky, but are one of the most direct routes to the market. Investors can buy shares of firms involved in copper mining, development and exploration, and ride the ebb and flow of both these companies’ performance and the copper price. Typically, more advanced companies are less risky compared to juniors.
Some of the largest copper-mining companies are Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX), Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTC Pink:GLCNF), BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) and Rio Tinto (LSE:RIO,NYSE:RIO,ASX:RIO).

Vizsla Copper Begins Drilling at Woodjam Copper-Gold Property
Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF) (FRANKFURT: 97E0) ("Vizsla Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the summer core drilling program at the Woodjam copper-gold project (the "Woodjam Project" or "Woodjam") in south-central BC (Figure 1).
HIGHLIGHTS- The Targets: Core drilling will evaluate the potential for: (1) extensions of high-grade gold mineralization at the Deerhorn deposit, (2) extensions of gold-rich copper mineralization at the Three Firs zone, and (3) extensions of higher gold mineralization at the Southeast deposit.
- The Program: Approximately 3,600m of core drilling in 9 drill holes is planned, some of which will be on the contiguous Redgold property.
"With our financing freshly closed, I'm excited about the start of drilling at Woodjam," commented Craig Parry, Executive Chairman. "Strong copper prices are expected to continue over the long term and Vizsla Copper is executing on its strategy of acquiring undervalued copper assets and completing selective, high-impact exploration programs on our best targets."
"Well mineralized and highly prospective for exploration success, Woodjam remains our highest priority project," commented Steve Blower, Vice President of Exploration. "I'm looking forward to evaluating all of the target areas, especially Three Firs, as this is our first opportunity to expand the wide-open mineralization there."
The ProgramHigh priority targets will be evaluated in 3 areas – the Deerhorn deposit, the Three Firs zone and the Southeast deposit (Figure 2). At the Deerhorn copper-gold deposit, at least two drill holes will evaluate the potential to expand the higher-grade southern gold-rich portion of the deposit (Figure 3). At the copper-gold Three Firs zone, one drill hole will evaluate potential extensions to the southwest of the zone and another will evaluate a large circular magnetic anomaly northwest of the zone (Figure 4). Finally, drilling at the large Southeast copper deposit will attempt to expand the area of higher-grade gold mineralization along the south end of the deposit (Figure 5).
Approximately 3,600m of drilling is planned in 9 drill holes – some of which will be completed on the contiguous Redgold property. More information on the Redgold portion of the drilling program will follow as targets are finalized. The program will take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to complete. Samples will be submitted for assay regularly through the program, and analytical results will be disclosed in due course.
