Sanatana Resources. (TSXV: STA) ("Sanatana" or the "Company") has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: AWX) ("ArcWest") to negotiate an earn-in and joint venture agreement on ArcWest's Oweegee Dome porphyry copper-gold (Cu-Au) project, located in BC's Golden Triangle. ArcWest's 100% owned Oweegee Dome project is located 45 km east of Seabridge Gold's KSM-Iron Cap porphyry Cu-Au deposits.

Mr. Peter Miles, CEO of Sanatana commented, "We are delighted to enter into this letter of intent with ArcWest. We look forward to working with Tyler Ruks and his team at ArcWest to explore the Oweegee Dome project, which is host to one of the largest underexplored porphyry Cu-Au systems in BC's Golden Triangle. This proposed transaction will leverage our experience in BC.'s Golden Triangle particularly because our Chairman, Ian Smith, led the team at bcMetals Corp. that engineered the Red Chris porphyry Cu-Au deposit for development, prior to being acquired by Imperial Metals Corp. Seventy percent of Red Chris was later purchased from Imperial by Newcrest Mining for US$804 million."

It is contemplated that the Company will be able to earn an initial 60% interest in the Oweegee Dome project by incurring assessment and exploration expenditures of $6,600,000 in stages over the period ending December 31, 2024 and making staged cash and share payments totalling $500,000 and 2,000,000 shares, respectively over the same period. Payments to ArcWest can be made in cash; Sanatana's common shares or a combination of 50% cash and 50% shares at ArcWest's election. It is contemplated that Sanatana will have the ability to earn an additional 20% interest, for an aggregate 80% interest, or form a joint venture.

The Company is negotiating a definitive agreement that will be subject to customary approvals including that of the TSX-Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement with ArcWest will be completed as proposed or at all.

​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.
