        • 15.93m @ 6.25% Cu, 57g/t Ag, 0.25g/t Au from 504.7m
        • 7.28m @ 4.48% Cu, 52g/t Ag, 0.28g/t Au from 524m

MBDD056

      • 31m @ 3.21% Cu, 32g/t Ag, 0.22g/t Au from 396m including:
        • 5m @ 10.60% Cu, 68g/t Ag, 0.39g/t Au from 419.1m

MBDD073

o 9.5m @ 2.30% Cu, 18g/t Ag, 0.14g/t Au from 517m

MBDD054

o 9m @ 2.36% Cu, 44g/t Ag, 0.44g/t Au from 382m

  • Drillholes MBDD054, 056, 058, and 064 are located in the centre of the Mallee Bull and highlight the deposit’s exceptional high-grade core
  • Drillhole MBDD073 is located on the northern end of Mallee Bull and indicates continuation of the resource to the north
  • Review of Mallee Bull resource drilling completed in Dec 2021 identified opportunity to improve resource quality with targeted infill drilling; drilling commenced mid-Jan 2022
  • All drilling completed prior to Christmas has now been logged and processed with assays pending for 19 drillholes.
  • Peel expects to deliver a Mallee Bull resource update within Mar Q 2022

WIRLONG

  • Latest assays from Peel’s ongoing resource drilling at Wirlong copper deposit in NSW yield further strong copper intercepts, with new results including:

WLDD047 (partial results)

  • 4m @ 2.04% Cu, 3g/t Ag from 526m
  • 5m @ 6.75% Cu, 11g/t Ag from 544m
     
  • Assays for 3 drillholes are pending; 4 drillholes are now being processed; with a further 12 drillholes currently awaiting processing. These results and any additional drilling will be used in an upcoming resource upgrade expected in mid-2022.
  • Review of Wirlong resource drilling completed in Dec 21 identified opportunity to grow and infill the deposit through targeted drilling.

Resource drilling at both prospects was paused for the Christmas/NY period, with reviews of both Wirlong and Mallee Bull resource drilling completed to determine opportunity to increase the resource quality and scale for economic study work. This work has now been completed with targeted infill drilling at Mallee Bull now underway.

Additional to the recently released maiden resource estimation at Wirlong, Peel expects to deliver a Mallee Bull resource update in the March quarter 2022, as part of Peel’s copper first development strategy. Wirlong and Mallee Bull are part of Peel’s South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW.

Copper Soars to All-time High as Trump Unveils 50 Percent Tariff on Imports

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

“I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make 50 percent,” Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting.

Though he did not provide a timeline, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a subsequent CNBC interview that the tariff could take effect by late July or as early as August 1, with details to be posted on Trump’s Truth Social account.

Loyal to Acquire the High-Grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine

Loyal Metals Limited (ASX:LLM) (Loyal, LLM, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a binding option to purchase the Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia, one of the highest-grade copper mines worldwide, with past production totalling 3.65 million tonnes at 5.7% Cu and 260,000 tonnes at 4.5 g/t Au 1-9. This acquisition is the first step in Loyal’s 2025 Strategic Plan to broaden its critical minerals portfolio into copper. No exploration has been conducted on the mining leases since mining ceased in July 2005, despite a ~680% increase in copper prices and a ~1,256% increase in gold prices since the 1997 feasibility study 3,4. With over $4.4 million in funding, Loyal is well-positioned to revisit the high-grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine by deploying modern exploration techniques11.

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.
