• Hudbay Minerals paying $439 million in June 2023 for 75% stake in Copper Mountain Mine exemplifies potential for Canada’s emerging “Copper Highway”
• Torr Metals recently expanded its land package at its Kolos Copper-Gold project in the heart of the region by 75% to 240-square kilometers
• Historical rock grab samples at Kolos have yielded high grades, such as 4.24 g/t Au, 0.52% Cu, and 11.3 g/t Ag, yields that company hopes will be further validated soon with the arrival of a spate of samples and survey data

Canada’s mining industry is booming and gaining steam, fueled by an increased focus on copper exploration and development. It’s no secret that metals like copper are in tremendous demand owing to sustainability goals worldwide. British Columbia’s south-central region stands out as a crown jewel in this exciting trend, as a highly attractive and the most productive copper mining district in all of Canada.

Several established copper mines have already cemented the south-central region’s reputation as a copper powerhouse. Hudbay Minerals Copper Mountain copper-gold open-pit mine, for instance, has been churning out valuable resources since August 2011, with a milling capacity of 45,000 tones per day. In June 2023, Hudbay paid an estimated $439 million to buy Copper Mountain Mining Corp. to gain a 75% interest in the mine. This strategic move solidified Hudbay’s position as the third largest copper producer in Canada, highlighting the immense potential of the region.

But the story doesn’t end there. The future promises even more. Exploration activity is booming, with estimates suggesting over $83.7 million dedicated to exploration expenditures and over 110,000 meters of drilling planned, according to the BC Geological Survey.

Torr Metals (TSX.V: TMET) and its Kolos copper-gold project are a prime example of the new wave of exploration driving this economic security of the nation and North America. Located in the heart of this prolific copper/gold belt, the Kolos project is underlain by Nicola Group (Late Triassic) volcanic and sedimentary rocks, which are intruded by Late Triassic granodiorite to quartz monzonite rocks – a geological sweet spot for copper porphyry deposits in the region. The company’s recent 75% expansion of the project to 240-square kilometers demonstrates their unwavering commitment to unlocking the region’s major copper porphyry discovery potential.

Historical rock grab samples at Kolos have yielded high-grades, such as 4.24 g/t Au, 0.52% Cu, and 11.3 g/t Ag within a newly established seven-kilometer trend of untested >200 ppm Cu soil anomalies. To that end, the company and its investors are eagerly awaiting pending assay results from 2023 rock (46) samples as well as phase 1 of 2024 surface sampling that will offer further insights into planning expanded operations in 2024.

While Kolos is an exciting opportunity, it is only a piece of the Torr portfolio. Torr holds 100% ownership in over 1,000-square kilometers of strategically located gold and copper projects across Canada, positioning the company for potentially significant returns in multiple favorable regions. These include the Filion Au Project (261 km²) in northern Ontario and the Latham Cu-Au Project (689 km²) in BC’s Golden Triangle.

The activity of Torr and others in south-central BC is a beacon for investors looking to capitalize on the rush. This combined effort positions the south-central region as a true “Copper Highway” – a corridor of mining activity that will not only benefit mining companies but also generate significant economic prosperity for local communities and the nation.

Copper Mountain is just one example of lengthy mine life potential that Torr is aiming to replicate across its expansive property. Within 30 kilometers of Kolos are two additional established copper porphyry mines, including Teck Resources’ Highland Valley Copper Mine and New Gold’s New Afton Mine that are seeing efforts to extend their life; demonstrating the long-term commitment to this copper and gold-rich area.

With its potential and ongoing exploration activity, the region is poised to remain a leading light in Canada’s copper boom. Companies like Torr Metals are at the forefront of this development, and their success will be a key driver of future deal flow in the Canadian mining industry. With the recent expansion at Kolos, a spate of survey data anticipated, and more exploration on tap, this story is just beginning to be told.

• Rob McEwen recently spoke at the NYC SME’s 9th Annual Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference, emphasizing the importance of mining in sustaining modern civilization
• McEwen pointed out that those opposed to mining often cite environmental concerns, but they fail to recognize the unintended consequences of shutting down industries that are fundamental to modern living
• McEwen offered 10 strategic recommendations to make mining relevant to the public and address industry challenges

Rob McEwen, CEO of McEwen Mining (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), an asset rich diversified gold and silver producer in the Americas, recently spoke at the NYC SME’s 9th Annual Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference, where he emphasized the crucial importance of the mining industry to modern civilization and outlined a strategic approach to improving its public perception. His address highlighted the stark reality of a world without mining and its interconnected industries, particularly oil and gas.

McEwen began by challenging the audience to imagine a world devoid of mining, pointing out that while such a scenario might seem amusing momentarily, it would quickly lead to the collapse of modern civilization. The necessity of mining for the continuation of contemporary life is undeniable, yet, as McEwen pointed out, a significant portion of the population remains blissfully unaware of this fact. This ignorance is compounded by societal conditioning that teaches a deep-seated hatred for the industry.

The opposition to mining, often rooted in environmental concerns, fails to recognize the unintended consequences of shutting down an industry fundamental to modern life. McEwen also stressed that removing hydrocarbons from our lives would lead to a dystopian future, a collapse far more chaotic and desperate than most could imagine.

The central theme of McEwen’s speech was the urgent need to alter the public’s negative perception of the mining industry. This change, he argued, could be achieved by showcasing the industry’s essential contributions to daily life and modern technologies, particularly those aimed at combating climate change. By highlighting the vast range of products derived from minerals and the environmental stewardship efforts within the industry, McEwen believes the public can be swayed to view mining more favorably.

McEwen acknowledged the effectiveness of the opposition’s campaign, particularly among the youth, who are taught from a young age to view mining as destructive. To counteract this narrative, he proposed a proactive approach: educating educators, utilizing modern media tools, and presenting vivid, positive examples of the industry’s impact on local communities and the environment.

To make mining relevant to the public and address the industry’s challenges, McEwen offered ten strategic recommendations:

1. Surprise the Majority: Educate the public about their everyday reliance on mining, especially in technologies that combat climate change.
2. Broaden Our Reach & Turn up the Volume: Engage suppliers and allied industries in promoting the benefits of mining.
3. Showcase Environmental Protection: Highlight reclamation successes and ongoing environmental protection efforts.
4. Share Community Stories: Emphasize the positive impact of mining on local businesses, services, and job opportunities.
5. Educate Influencers: Show the critical connection between mining, modern life, and climate change mitigation, while promoting career opportunities.
6. Improve Remote Site Conditions: Enhance accommodations and benefits to attract top talent.
7. Highlight Compensation & Career Paths: Showcase the high pay and rapid career advancement opportunities in mining.
8. Join Forces with Oil & Gas: Collaborate on marketing efforts to improve public perception.
9. Pressure Governments: Lobby for political support and recognition of mining’s contribution to modern life.
10. Address Workforce Shrinkage: Embrace automation and AI to mitigate the shrinking workforce.

McEwen drew inspiration from successful industry transformations, such as Uber’s disruption of the taxi industry and Tesla’s revolution in electric vehicles. These examples demonstrate the power of addressing public complaints and delivering a superior customer experience. By adopting a similar approach, the mining industry can reshape its image and gain broader acceptance.

Working together to change opinions and highlight the industry’s essential contributions, McEwen believes the mining sector can prevent a world that is “naked, homeless, and hungry.” It is time for the industry to step onto the global stage with a message of relevance, responsibility, and opportunity, he explained.

• Bloomberg analyst projects 2024 EV sales in the U.S. at nearly 2 million units, making up 13% of new-car purchases
• Mullen subsidiary inks first commercial dealership agreement with LaFontaine Automotive Group
• Bollinger Motors expects to start delivering the Bollinger B4 later this year

While some headlines in the past few months make it seem like the electric vehicle market is in trouble, a recent “Car and Driver” article forecasts that EV sales are just getting started. Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN), an emerging EV manufacturer, appears to support that projection, with the recent announcement that its subsidiary, Bollinger Motors, has entered a distribution deal with LaFontaine Automotive Group to become its first commercial dealership (https://ibn.fm/G0kGO).

In related news, Car and Driver recently debunked the idea that EV sales are slowing. “Over the past few months, multiple media outlets have suggested that U.S. sales of electric vehicles are losing steam, or have stalled out, or look grim for 2024, or that makers, dealers and buyers are dawdling.” For example, the article noted, Hertz has been shrinking its EV inventory. In addition, “Some point to carmakers delaying or reducing previous EV investments; others suggest the U.S. (and other countries) won’t hit their goals for EV sales percentages in 2030 or 2035. A few even question whether the EV transition will happen at all.

“There’s just one little problem,” the article continued. “Last year, U.S. sales of EVs were the highest ever, both in sheer numbers and as a percentage of the overall new-car market. Global sales: ditto. The EV Sales Tracker from EVadoption estimates nearly 1.2 million battery-electric vehicles and another 190,000 plug-in hybrids were sold in 2023, totaling 1.36 million vehicles. That’s 8.8% of the total of 15.5 million, per Wards Intelligence — and it represents EVs’ highest-ever share of new-car sales.”

Car and Driver also stated that this year is expected to set another new record for volume of EVs sold and their share of the total market, noting that Colin McKerracher of Bloomberg projects 2024 EV sales in the U.S. at just under 1.9 million units, making up 13% of new-car purchases. “This year should see fewer of the supply constraints that hobbled availability over the last four years,” the article concludes. “Depending on a host of factors, some analysts suggest overall vehicle sales could be 1 million vehicles or more higher than last year.”

That’s great news for both Mullen and Bollinger, which will produce the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab, an all-new, all-electric class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up. The company expects to start delivering the Bollinger B4 in the second half of 2024 and will deliver a number of these trucks to its new dealership partner: LaFontaine Automotive Group.

“We are thrilled to work with LaFontaine right here in Michigan where we designed, and will build, the B4,” said Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “LaFontaine shares our commitment to quality and customer service.” Bollinger will bring LaFontaine’s portfolio to 54 retail franchises and 39 retail locations, with additional announcements planned later this year.

“Our strategically developed plan to offer sales and service nationwide is being kicked off with LaFontaine,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer at Bollinger Motors. “Additional dealer partners will be announced soon, showing our commitment to fleets in all 50 states.”

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California–based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with two United States–based vehicle plants located in Tunica, Mississippi, (120,000 square feet) and Mishawaka, Indiana (650,000 square feet).

• Energy and Water Development Corp., a green-tech engineering solutions company focused on delivering water and energy to extreme environments, is aware of the growing impact of climate change and pollution on clean water access
• As of 2022, at least 2.2 billion people in the world still lacked safely managed drinking water, according to a report by the UN
• It is further projected that by 2030, only 81% of the world’s population will have access to safe drinking water at home, meaning 1.5 billion people without it
• EAWD looks to address this through its offering, which has shown the potential to extract as much as 65 tons of clean water in a day directly from the atmosphere, in addition to using solar for powering the process in areas without sufficient electricity
• Already, the company’s technology has been deployed in Mexico and Germany, and EAWD is looking to fulfill even more orders

Energy and Water Development (OTCQB: EAWD), a green-tech engineering solutions company focused on delivering water and energy to extreme environments, understands the growing impact of climate change and pollution on access to clean water. It also recognizes that less-industrialized nations are being affected a lot more by these challenges, potentially putting the lives of millions at risk. It looks to double down on building water systems out of already-existing, proven technologies, while utilizing its patent-pending systems configuration to help significantly address the issue.

What EAWD seeks to achieve is monumental, a factor that helps define the company’s mission and what it does. For context, according to a report by the United Nations (“UN”), it was noted that in 2022, at least 2.2 billion people still lacked safely managed drinking water. This included 703 million people who did not have access to basic water services, 3.5 billion who lacked safely managed sanitation, 1.5 billion without basic sanitation services, and 2 billion without basic handwashing facilities (https://ibn.fm/B5Ujs).

A Joint Monitoring Program (“JMP”) report published in 2021 noted that by 2030, only 81% of the world’s population will have access to safe drinking water at home. This would leave over 1.5 billion people without access to clean, safe drinking water (https://ibn.fm/0gc8j).

These statistics point to a glaring gap to be filled. They also speak to a need for more innovative and sustainable solutions to the problem, something that EAWD is looking to address. The company can produce as much as 65 tons of water in a day by extracting water directly from the air with its proprietary technology. This technology leverages ultra-efficient refrigeration for air condensation, allowing the system to be totally independent of groundwater resources without any adverse environmental effects (https://ibn.fm/32Q4e). In addition, solar power sources can be used where necessary to provide energy to the system.

It is noted that clear air contains water. This includes arid areas that receive little to no rain in a year. Factoring in the erratic rainfall patterns, global warming, and the depleting natural resources for fresh water, solutions such as EAWD’s are proving more viable than ever before.

“With water scarcity becoming an increasingly pressing issue globally, our innovative technology offers a ray of hope by providing a reliable source of clean water while reducing reliance on traditional water sources,” noted Irma Velazquez, the company’s CEO (https://ibn.fm/qp6F5).

Already, EAWD has its water systems deployed in Germany and Mexico and is working to fulfill additional orders. Given that it is tried and tested, its management is optimistic that the product’s uptake will only grow going forward, ultimately bringing solutions closer to the people and increasing the number of people with access to clean water.
