White Metal Partner Noronex Provides Update on Exploration Program at the DorWit Copper-Silver Project, Namibia

White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) ( FRA: CGK1 ) ( OTCMKTS: TNMLF) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update from its Australian joint venture partner Noronex Limited (ASX: NRX) ("Noronex") on their current exploration program at the DorWit Copper-Silver Project (the "Property" or "Project") in Namibia ( see Noronex ASX news release dated 8 July 2021 ). The Namibian Project comprises three Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) that cover 78,000 hectares, referred to as the Witvlei (EPL 7028 and EPL 7029) and Dordabis (EPL 7030) properties. The Project is prospective for sedimentary hosted Cu-Ag mineralisation within the prolific Kalahari Copper Belt that spans Namibia and Botswana.

Michael Stares, President & CEO of White Metal, stated, "This is great news for our shareholders and I am very pleased to have Noronex as a partner. They continue to demonstrate that they are very committed to moving the DorWit copper-silver project forward and have outlined some exceptional copper targets for drilling. I look forward to receiving the results from the upcoming drilling program."

Highlights

  • Field visits by the Noronex team were undertaken in May and June to finalise drill planning. The visits confirmed sub-cropping copper mineralisation at geochemistry soil targets.
  • Five high priority prospects defined for drill testing for large scale sediment hosted copper deposit including:
    • sub-cropping copper at Dalheim with two-kilometre strike extent.
    • gossan float at Gemboksvlei on a one-kilometre-long copper soil anomaly.
    • outcropping copper at Otjiwaru over an 800 m wide zone.
    • a 2.5 by 1.2 km copper-in-soil anomaly in an altered structural zone south of Okasewa.
    • unexplained copper soil anomalies at the Christiadore prospect.
  • Access agreements have been signed with landowners for the commencement of drilling, and a contract with a suitable drilling contractor is currently being finalised.
  • A program of over fifty holes is being planned to test these targets.
  • Trial IP survey is also planned at Gemboksvlei and Okasewa to define their IP signature.
  • Meetings were held in-country with the Ministry of Mines, consultants appointed, and a subsidiary company and bank accounts established.

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.
