Quaterra Provides Update on Water Rights

Quaterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: QTA) ("Quaterra" or the "Company") announces that on July 23, 2021 it received notice from the State of Nevada that the State has not approved extensions of three water rights permits purchased by its subsidiary, Singatse Peak Services, LLC ("SPS") in 2011. The State also advised that a fourth permit would not be extended after a period of an additional year. Prior to the notice, the Company believed it held a total of seven water rights permits providing for usage of approximately 6,014 acre-feet of water annually for mining and milling purposes in Yerington, Nevada.

The four permits in question were extended regularly by the State during the period 2011 through 2020. The notice from the State was in response to the Company's extension application filed in November of 2020. The basis for not granting a renewal of the permits included increased demand on the available water from other users, and non-use of the water by the Company for mining and milling purposes since 2011.

During this same period, the company invested into exploration of the Yerington copper properties to better assess their potential for development. The Company reiterates its commitment to the development of the MacArthur oxide copper project, noting that the pre-feasibility drilling program (see News Release of May 7, 2021 for details) is ongoing, with drilling to date of 9,633 feet.

The Company has the right to appeal the State's decision within 30 days from the date of the notice and has retained legal counsel to initiate and vigorously undertake the appeal process.

The Company is considering the implications of the State notice on its ongoing advancement of the MacArthur copper oxide project, and on the prior sales of a portion of the permitted water rights.

A Look at Historical Copper Prices (Updated 2024)

Copper has had a volatile few years; however, amid various ups and downs, prices for the red metal hit an all-time high on May 20, 2024, trading at US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX.

Interestingly, by looking backwards it’s easy to see that this spike was an expected feature of the long-term picture for copper prices. The red metal has rebounded after a downtrend from about 2011 to 2015, and over the last few decades prices have increased even more dramatically.

Case in point — at the time of its new high in May 2024, the copper price has increased over 500 percent since January 2000. Although this impressive major increase doesn't account for inflation, it's still a sizeable gain. Let's take a deeper dive into copper prices going back even further.

How to Invest in Copper (Updated 2024)

Copper has long been held up as a key indicator of global economic health, and as the world electrifies it's taking on a new shine, making it a potentially compelling choice for green-minded investors.

Often called Dr. Copper, copper is one of the most followed base metals, and its high ductility and electrical conductivity make it the third most consumed industrial metal, behind iron ore and aluminum, as per the US Geological Survey.

Given its attributes, copper is often used for electrical purposes such as power transmission and generation. And like its base metal sibling nickel, it has a major role in the electric vehicle revolution, with experts at S&P Global expecting consumption of copper to jump 20 percent by 2035 due to demand from the green energy market.
