Copper Fox Metals CEO Elmer Stewart said, “I would rank us within the top 10 percent of junior explorers, primarily because of the resource base we have.”

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Copper Fox Metals (TSXV:CUU,OTC Pink:CPFXF) CEO Elmer Stewart identified strengths that set the company apart from other junior explorers. He is confident that now is a good time for investors to look at Copper Fox Metals' potential.

“I would rank us within the top 10 percent of junior explorers, primarily because of the resource base we have, the joint venture with Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.B,TSX:TECK.A,NYSE:TECK), a very large established resource on the Schaft Creek project and a very high net asset value per share,” Stewart said.

Copper Fox Metals is focused on advancing the Van Dyke project and the Schaft Creek joint venture toward an updated resource estimate. “The 2022 drilling program includes some infield drilling between the existing drill holes and collecting metallurgical samples for metal recoveries," Stewart said. "We will also do some variability testing lifecycle tests to improve the recoveries, or to see if we can.”

The company will begin setting up a hydrogeological survey to establish sampling points, according to Stewart. It plans to map the hydrology so it can build the hydrology and go into the permitting process.

Stewart also mentioned that the second thing that boosts the company's potential is having established a very high net asset value per share that supports a higher share price. “One of our objectives this year is to align those two metrics," he explained.

Finally, Stewart highlighted how a great location intensifies Copper Fox Metals' advantage over its competitors. “Our assets are all located in tier one mining jurisdictions," he said. "And all the projects can potentially add more resources. At Eaglehead, we have the potential to move to a resource statement in 2022, or maybe early 2023. And the Mineral Mountain Sombrero Butte project has very large porphyry copper footprints and good potential for an exploration discovery.”

At the end of May, Copper Fox Metals released the results of an airborne geophysical survey for its 100 percent owned Mineral Mountain copper project; it shows three distinct bodies of higher magnetic intensity, as well as two new exploration targets.

Editor's Picks: Gold Pulls Back, Experts Not Worried; Eyes on Fed Next Week

Gold trended down this week, dropping to just over US$3,200 per ounce on the first day of May.

While the yellow metal remains historically high after a strong run this year, its price has pulled back from last week's record-setting level of US$3,500, causing concern for some market participants.

However, many experts agree that this week's retreat isn't a reason to worry.

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Gareth Soloway of VerifiedInvesting.com described it as "very normal," saying he remains bullish on gold in the mid to long term.

His technical analysis shows that the US$3,100 to US$3,140 area will be important to watch moving forward — in his view, that's when bullish players should start re-entering the space, boosting the price.

Soloway also outlined gold's future price potential, saying he sees a potential path to US$7,000. Check out the full interview for more of his thoughts on gold, as well as silver and the US economy.

Bullet briefing — Fed to meet next week, US-Ukraine deal signed

Market watchers eye Fed meeting

Eyes are shifting to the US Federal Reserve's next meeting, set to run from May 6 to 7. It follows initial numbers showing that real GDP contracted by an annual rate of 0.3 percent in Q1.

That's the first negative reading since 2022, and as the news weighed on the stock market, US President Donald Trump took to social media to suggest the data is an "overhang" from Joe Biden's term.

Trump has pressured Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates sooner than later, but CME Group's FedWatch tool shows the vast majority of market participants expect rates to stay flat.

Trump advisor Elon Musk also has his eye on the Fed. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday (April 30), he said the US$2.5 billion renovation of the central bank's headquarters could become a point of inquiry for the Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE.

Calling the cost an "eyebrow raiser," Musk questioned where the money is being spent. The price of the project was initially set at US$1.9 billion in 2021, but has increased since then.

"Since at the end of the day, this is all taxpayer money, I think we certainly — we should definitely — look to see if indeed the Federal Reserve is spending $2.5 billion on their interior designer" — Musk

US, Ukraine sign critical minerals deal

The US and Ukraine signed a much-anticipated minerals deal on Wednesday, ending months of often-tense negotiations between the two countries. If approved by parliament in Ukraine, the agreement will set up a reconstruction investment fund that will be split 50/50 between each party.

According to Ukrainian officials, the deal is more equitable than previous versions.

The fund will be financed only by new licenses for critical materials, oil and gas; aside from that, Ukraine will not have to pay back wartime aid provided by the US.

While Ukraine had pushed for security guarantees from the US, that component ultimately wasn't put in place. However, the US may provide new assistance to Ukraine, such as air defense systems.

A total of 55 minerals are reportedly covered in the arrangement, but more can be added in the future if there is consensus between the US and Ukraine. Although the US will get preferential rights to mineral extraction, Ukraine will have the final say on what is mined and where, and will retain subsoil ownership.

The agreement comes on the back of an increasing global focus on critical minerals, many of which are key for new technology and important industries like defense.

It's worth noting that while Ukraine is home to a wide variety of these commodities, more geological data will be needed to determine commercial viability — for example, there is no up-to-date information on the country's reserves of rare earths, which are important to the US.

Investment Risks and Important Disclosure from Sprott Asset Management

Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.

Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like store of value, safe haven and safe asset. These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
