  • 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​ 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.

Top 10 Copper-producing Companies

Copper miners with productive assets have much to gain as supply and demand tighten.

In May 2024, the copper price hit a new all-time high of US$10,954 per metric ton (MT) on the London Metal Exchange and US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX on the back of increasing demand and growing supply concerns.

Copper is one of the most important resources for the energy transition. However, in recent years, demand for the red metal has outpaced mining supply. While construction and electrical grids have long been major markets for copper, today the rise in demand for electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and energy storage applications are emerging drivers of copper consumption.

Another trend driving future copper demand is the rapid urbanization in the Global South, as rural populations migrate to cities, putting pressure on electricity grids.

Mining Execs Call for Clarity as Canada Eyes Faster Permitting Timelines for Critical Minerals Projects

Mining Execs Call for Clarity as Canada Eyes Faster Permitting Timelines for Critical Minerals Projects

Faster permitting timelines for critical minerals projects could be a welcome game changer for junior mining and resource development companies, but clarity will be key to any meaningful reforms.

This was the sentiment among executives from junior mining companies in a recent panel discussion on Bill C-5, the Canadian government’s new major projects bill that will essentially fast track permitting for “national-interest” projects, including those essential to the country's critical minerals strategy.

The bill proposes the establishment of a Major Projects Office meant to be the single permitting agency for qualified projects that will cut permitting timelines from the typical five years down to two years.
