Xplore Isolates Priority Geophysical Targets at the Upper Red Lake Property

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore" or the "Company"), has identified and prioritized targets at its Upper Red Lake Project ("Upper Red Lake"), located in the Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario.

Jeremy S. Brett, M.Sc., P.Geo., Senior Consulting Geophysicist, Jeremy S. Brett International Consulting Ltd., has reviewed the airborne magnetic data for the Upper Red Lake property, identifying six priority anomalies for field follow-up (Ref. Figure 1.0). A brief overview of each target follows:

C1 An E-W MAG high, the C1 target, traceable over 2,200 metres within mapped granodiorites, interpreted to represent possible ultramafic volcanic rocks emplaced along and wrapping around the granodiorite-greenstone contact.

C2 A second E-W MAG high response with multiple interpreted structural offsets that parallels the C1 target but is more broken up. C2 occurs along the interpreted trendline of Prosper Gold Corp's Golden Sidewalk Project to the east.

C3 A WNW structural trend, the C3 target is interpreted to represent the western continuation of Prosper Gold Corp's Golden Sidewalk trend.

N1 A NNW striking MAG high, the N1 target, traceable over 700 metres lying entirely within mapped greenstones in the northern most part of the claim block, and potentially another ultramafic intrusive emplaced along the granodiorite-greenstone contact.

S1 Five, semi-circular MAG high signatures, the S1 targets, that may reflect potential kimberlites or small diameter untramafic intrusives oriented along a NW trend entirely within mapped tonalites.

S2 Two semi-circular MAG highs oriented along a NW trend within the mapped tonalite, identified as the S2 targets.

Waldo Sciences Inc. ("Waldo") Vernon, B.C., completed preliminary reconnaissance mapping, prospecting, till and rock sampling of the C1, 2 and 3 target areas in October 2021. Waldo's work identified several meta-volcanic outcrops with disseminated sulphide mineralization at Targets C2 and C3 which lie along strike of Prosper Gold's Golden Sidewalk target. Waldo collected samples from outcrop and completed reconnaissance scale gold in till sampling of the C2 and C3 target areas. Results are anticipated in Q1, 2022.

Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore, notes, "The objective of the airborne survey was to prioritize targets for follow-up mapping, sampling and, if warranted, drilling. We were fortunate that Waldo was able to access the site and prospect the C1,2 and 3 target areas prior to the onset of winter. We expect the results of the reconnaissance samples collected by Waldo in Q1, 2022. The Red Lake - Birch Uchi greenstone belt is seeing a significant surge in interest following the success of Great Bear Resources at their Dixie Project which has led to a takeover bid by Kinross Gold, valued at C$ 1.8 billion, and First Mining Gold Corp's decision to develop the Springpole deposit. In addition, Barrick Gold has announced two separate transactions to earn into the Red Lake camp, further evidence that Red Lake is a compelling exploration district."

Mr. Hanson also notes, "The anomalous gold in till results identified by the Geological Survey of Canada lie entirely within a large tonalite and are well south and down ice of the projected trend of Prosper Gold Corp's Golden Sidewalk project volcanic host rocks. The GSC results indicate grades of up to 1,200 ppb Au with numerous, pristine gold grains observed in the four samples spread across a 4,000 metre strike extent. These anomalous gold in till results currently remain unexplained."

When Will Copper Go Up? (Updated 2024)

Copper is the third most-used metal in the world, and experts believe demand for this important commodity is set to rise in the coming years. At the same time, the supply situation is expected to tighten up.

For that reason, market watchers may be asking, “When will copper go up?” The general consensus is that while prices may not break out in the near term, they will rise once the market truly starts to enter a deficit.

In Q2 2024, copper prices swung upwards more quickly than anticipated. The Comex price climbed as high as US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464 per metric ton, a new all-time high, and the LME three month price set an all-time high of US$11,104 per metric ton the same day. They have since pulled back as of June, but the fundamentals remain.

Boosting North America's Copper Supply

Copper has a huge role to play in both electrification and the global energy transition — and at our current level of production, demand will soon outpace supply.

The current global supply dynamic exacerbates this problem. According to S&P Global, copper production is more concentrated than oil. Chile is currently the world's largest copper producer, producing roughly 5 million metric tons (MT) of the metal in 2023. Peru, the second largest producer, produced only 2.6 million MT, while Australia was in third place with 810,000 MT. Chile and Peru account for 38 percent of world copper production.

This current supply landscape is unsustainable. Diversifying global supply chains for copper production is necessary to meet the increasing demand. North American governments recognized this issue. They implemented policies and incentives to boost domestic supply.

World Copper’s Zonia Project Well Placed for Copper's "Paradigm Shift," CEO Says

Amid the looming copper deficit, World Copper (TSXV:WCU) CEO Gordon Neal believes the market needs to look at more nimble operations, like the company’s Zonia copper oxide project in Arizona, US, for a less expensive and faster path to production.

Neal first explained the problem with the large sulfide deposits major copper companies are developing.

"The majors are spending billions of dollars to put these into production. The average is probably anywhere between $2 billion to $6 billion, some even $10 billion. And the timeline to get them into production is anywhere between eight to 12 years for permitting," he said.

Top 5 ASX Copper Stocks of 2024

Copper has hit record highs in recent years, and after setbacks at the start of 2024 its fortune has begun to turn.

Prices rebounded to an all-time high on the COMEX of US$5.20 per pound, or US$11,464 per metric ton, on May 20 on tightening supply and increasing demand from the transition to renewable energy.

In the longer term, many market watchers see tight supply and higher consumption from sectors like the electric vehicle industry creating a robust outlook for copper.

Against that backdrop, the top ASX copper stocks have put on impressive year-to-date share price performances. The list below outlines the best performing copper stocks on the ASX, and was generated on June 26, 2024, using TradingView’s stock screener; all copper shares listed had market caps above AU$50 million at that time. Read on to learn more about them.
