Aranjin Resources Announces Promising Drilling Results at the Sharga Copper Project

Aranjin Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARJN) (the "Company" or "Aranjin Resources") is very pleased to announce results from the recent drilling at the Sharga Copper Project ("Sharga" or "Project").

Highlights:

First drilling program completed with results now received for all drill holes and Phase 2 follow up drilling planned.
Highly encouraging early results from six initial drill holes with a best result of 15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold.
Wide zones of VMS style (massive to semi massive sulphides) mineralization up to 100 meters in width, indicating a substantial mineralized system has been discovered at Sharga.
Mineralised zones intersected in drilling are open along strike and at depth and this is further confirmed by preliminary dipole-dipole IP geophysics that tested and confirmed that the mineralisation intersected in drilling is open and remains untested by drilling.

The Company has successfully drilled six diamond core drill holes for a total of 2,211 meters at the East Prospect with a best result of 15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold. These early results successfully demonstrate the discovery of a substantial VMS style base metal system with high grade copper and gold at Sharga. This is very early and only a tiny fraction of the targets on the project have been drill tested. While this drill campaign was short it supports the Company's initial view that the Sharga Copper Project has strong potential for the discovery of high-grade copper gold deposits. The Phase 2 drilling program will cover a wider area and will include further drilling at the East Prospect and an additional five target areas that the company has been working on. This program is expected to commence early in 2022.

Better Drilling results included:

SH-2:

54.1 meters at 0.27% Copper and 0.35g/t Gold, including 7.7 meters at 1.04g/t Gold and 2.9% Zinc

SH-3:

9 meters at 0.64% Copper and 0.31g/t Gold including 1.9 meters at 2.25% Copper
5.15 meters at 1.73% Copper and 0.98g/t Gold including 1 meters at 4.51% Copper and 2.33g/t Gold and 100 g/t Silver

SH-5:

37.9 meters at 0.27% Copper and 0.50 g/t Gold

SH-6:

15.3 meters at 0.13% Copper and 1.05g/t Gold
15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold, including 9 meters of 2.11% Copper and 1.02g/t Gold
16 meters at 0.52% Copper and 0.86 g/t Gold

Summary of the Drill Results:

A total of five prospects were identified as a consequence of the ASTER satellite image processing and geological mapping, in the license named North, Aguit, Khar Zurai, West, and East. Strongly silicified, reddish-brown limonite-hematite rich alteration zones "gossans" were mapped at all the prospects in variable sizes and are associated with schistose textured acidic volcanic rocks as well as elevated base metals and gold.

A total of six diamond drillholes with a total of 2,211 meters were completed at the East prospect. Over 100 meter thick, pyrite dominated, massive sulfide layers were intersected in the holes demonstrating a substantial mineralized VMS system. The best intercept was achieved in the last hole drilled and included 15.4m at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g/t Gold from 315.6m in drillhole SH-6 and included 9m at 2.11% Copper and 1.02g/t Gold from 322m.

The company has completed preliminary dipole-dipole IP test survey across the East and North Prospects and confirmed that the mineralization intersected in drilling is open along the strike and at depth. Additional IP and ground magnetic geophysics and soil and rock chip geochemistry will be undertaken in the coming months.

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.
