Mount Margaret Copper Project:

Comet announced on 5 January 2023 that as the conditions precedent to settlement of the agreement between the Company and Glencore for the acquisition of the Mount Margaret Project were not capable of being satisfied by the original end date of 2 December 2022, the Company and Glencore agreed an extension to the condition precedent end date to 31 March 2023.

The Company intends to lodge a new notice of general meeting and prospectus to allow the Company to complete the condition precedents to the acquisition of the Mount Margaret Project prior to 31 March 2023 as noted above.

What's the Next US Copper Mine? 26 Copper Projects to Watch

Companies with upcoming copper mines in the US could be poised to benefit from tailwinds in the sector, including the new administration promising to cut "red tape" for critical minerals projects.

Copper demand is climbing quickly in recent years because of the rapid urbanization of the global south as well as the developing energy transition sectors. However, current copper mines are increasing in age and there is a lack of new copper mines to replace them, both due to limited greenfield exploration and long permitting times.
