Where are all the needed metals coming from in future? So existing corporations are taking profits and either upping dividends or doing share buybacks. They are extracting but not replacing. Not spending on exploration for new sources of metals to replace those extracted. Demand forcopper , silver amongst others is and will increase. Where will the new supply originate? Only one source, mines that need be discovered and developed.
I wish I was younger, 10 years from now commodities will be significantly higher that now and so will exploration companies if they have not already been bought out. Might be sooner and I sure hope so.
