RE:Until it’s a producer Copper is the material that is most critical for the energy transition. This material has a multifunctional role. As far as I am concerned, copper mining should be valued upwards due to its important role. Copper is as important if not more important than gold, where it is used to make jewelry that ends up in a safe, just like gold bars. It is clear that gold in a safety deposit box is of very little use!
So why speculate on a non-producing gold mine and not give value to a copper mine that is not yet producing, but has good resources?!?!
