You can’t do anything without copper!
Lowell runs an exploration fund with exposure to $MKG $SXG $SRI

The battery supply chain remains at risk. Continued volatility in lithium prices will bring severe disruptions.
Sprott has several ETFs including:
- Copper miners and explorers $COPP $COPJ
- Energy transition materials $SETM

Producing this much copper will be a BIG challenge, and if someone knows this, it’s them.
BHP mines copper, iron ore and more, throughout the world. Escondida remains the best of all (you could say I’m biased but still)

I personally share this uncomfortable feeling.
Is this even doable? The dichotomy between weak prices and lofty goals highlights the uncertainty.
Trafigura is a global commodity trader and investor focused on minerals, metals and energy.

We all know the geopolitical implications, yet, copper cannot do what it needs to do without China!
But wait, before you go…
