The Technology Behind New Copper Mines

After a brief pause, we’re about to get back to our regularly scheduled commodity supercycle.

The long-term thesis never went away.

If the future wants data centers, AI, electric vehicles, and smartphones… the amount of resources that come out of the ground is going to need to be turned up to 11.

The Ivy League forecasters at McKinsey say we’ll need to increase global copper production 45% by 2031.

That’s the “equivalent to doubling production from the top four copper-producing countries.”

And if you know anything about mining, that simply can’t happen.

Mining is a slow and expensive business. It often takes 30 years for a mine to produce metal after an initial ore body is discovered.


Mining’s Shocking Secret: $8 in $10 Being Lost

Mining’s Toughest Secret: $8 of every $10 invested in mining has been disappearing.

Why? 

Site disasters, government crackdowns, and outright fraud.

But a 20-cent tech stock could be the game-changer. It’s poised to restore those lost dollars and then some.

Permitting alone can take a decade or more — held up by the very bureaucrats demanding a clean-air future.

For example, there is a giant copper deposit in Arizona called Resolution. If approved, it would become the largest copper mine on the North American continent and could produce up to 25% of the copper the US needs every year.

It has been in permitting since 2013 with no end in sight. Even if it is approved, it’ll take another half decade to build.

But there is a solution. And it comes in the form of a new way of doing things.

Human ingenuity has always solved our species’ problems — from plumbing to penicillin.

It will be no different with the resource challenges we’re facing in the modern era.

We are simply coming up with new ways of extracting metals that require neither finding a new deposit nor digging a huge hole in the ground.

New technologies are allowing us to extract copper that is leftover from previous mining operations.

You see, current mining processes — even the best ones — only extract 70-90% of the metal that is in the rock that comes out of the ground. The rest is left in piles of waste rock, called tailings.

Some of the tailings piles are so big you can see them from space.

We’ve found one new technology that has made it possible to skip the long and costly steps of actually finding a new copper deposit.

Being backed by one of the largest mining companies in the world, this process uses a new liquid “blue water” solution.

The solution is poured over waste rock from previous copper mines. It then pulls out any remaining metal and turns it directly into sheets of 99.99% pure copper.

No digging, no refinery, no waste…

The copper is extracted directly from the rock and put into perfect sheets that the tech industry can use right away.

The process takes just hours. But it’s worth billions.

And we think the first company to use it is going to be a very lucrative investment for anyone paying attention.

So we went there to bring you the story firsthand.

You can see this operation right now. And you can invest in it, too.
