  Opawica Explorations Inc. 

TheNewswire November 18th, 2021 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the "Company" or "Opawica") engaged the services of GoldSpot Discovery Corp. (TSXV: SPOT) (‘GoldSpot') as per the news release dated June 16, 2021, to apply proprietary machine learning techniques within a strong geoscientific framework to help identify and rank drill targets at the Bazooka Property located in the Abitibi Gold Camp.

 

  GoldSpot has been working closely with the Opawica technical team to analyze all available geological data and create high quality multivariate ranked drill targets on the Bazooka Property.  

 

  Blake Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Opawica stated, "The work done by GoldSpot and our Opawica team has exceeded expectations. It has revealed a large collection of High Priority targets and we plan to drill all of them!"  

 

  In collaboration with Opawica, GoldSpot has integrated and reinterpreted various datasets (geochemical, geophysical, geological) to provide a cohesive and informed geoscientific interpretation which has facilitated drill targeting for the upcoming drill program at the Bazooka Property. These targets were evaluated and underpinned by new understanding gained from GoldSpot. Structural interpretations and 3D modeling provided by GoldSpot have led to the development of an updated geological model that includes fold events, numerous lithostratigraphic units, as well as faults.  

 

  The 14 highly favourable geological drill targets identified by GoldSpot in conjunction with the Opawica technical team, were assigned individual target scores which were normalized and weighted, and then ranked in order of priority for follow up. The combination of these multiple datasets and products, as well as new interpretations outlined above, have helped GoldSpot and the Opawica technical team to arrive at an enhanced geological understanding of the area.

Copper Soars to All-Time High as Trump Unveils 50 percent Tariff on Imports

President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday (July 8) he would impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions under 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.

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.
