Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The copper price moved significantly during the first quarter with momentum that carried it to an all time high on the COMEX of US$5.26 per pound on March 26.

The rally in prices was driven by uncertainty in global financial markets due to the threat of tariffs from the United States and President Donald Trump.

This resulted in increased tightness and panic in copper inventories as more shipments were diverted into US warehouses to preempt any potential price hikes. However, prices eased at the beginning of April as concerns about a global recession began to outweigh fears of commodity shortages, causing the price of copper to drop below US$4.50 per pound.
