Copper is considered a barometer for the global economy. The global energy transition and the rapid proliferation of AI data centers are fueling an insatiable demand for the red metal. At the same time, high oil prices have sparked fears of a global economic downturn. In 2025, the price of copper reached new record highs, supply chains were disrupted, and there was uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs. In addition to strong demand, the price is now being driven by the projected copper deficit and increasing urbanization in the Global South.
In 2023, the Cobre Panama copper mine in Panama was shut down; it supplied about one percent of the global copper supply. There is a plan for safe maintenance and management to ensure environmental protection. Provisions for resuming operations are not included. The Grasberg mine in Indonesia has not yet returned to full production capacity since the collapse of 800,000 tons of wet material. This is expected by 2027.
Thus, supply shortages occur repeatedly for various reasons. In Chile, for example, the world’s largest copper-producing country, a power outage occurred at the Escondida copper mine operated by in February 2026. The Iran conflict poses a threat to copper mining in the Congo. This is because the Congo must import the sulfuric acid needed for copper mining in Central Africa. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is therefore problematic for sulfur imports.
Axo Metals (formerly Axo Copper) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/axo-metals-corp/ - owns the La Huerta copper project in Mexico. It covers approximately 11,300 hectares and is a new copper discovery in the promising Sierra Madre belt. The latest drill results are extremely positive. Just recently, the company acquired Sapuchi Minera and, with it, the advanced San Antonio gold project (total resources at San Antonio amount to 576,000 ounces of gold and 1.37 million ounces of silver with a grade of 1.20 grams of gold per ton of rock and 2.9 grams of silver per ton of rock in the “Indicated” category and 544,000 ounces of gold and 1.76 million ounces of silver with a grade of 1.02 grams of gold per ton of rock and 3.3 grams of silver per ton of rock in the “Inferred” category) in Mexico.
Mogotes Metals - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/mogotes-metals-inc/ - is in the exploration and development stage and owns copper, silver, and gold projects in the promising Vicuña District in Argentina and Chile. The Filo Sur copper project (Argentina) appears particularly promising, where drilling rigs are currently in operation. Positive drill results have already been released. In addition to copper, gold, and silver, molybdenum was also discovered in the most recent drill results. The positive results were observed in the drill core at a shallow depth of 108 meters. Mogotes CEO Allen Sabet commented that they now have two significant copper-gold-silver-molybdenum discoveries, although they have only scratched the surface of what could be a large deposit. A private placement recently injected new capital into the company.
