Copper's Next Wave: Discovery Trends & Future Supply Analysis | JuniorMining.gold

Comprehensive analysis of global copper exploration trends from 2015-2025. Discover how the 100m@0.3% Cu filter predicts billion-pound resources, recent drill results across the Americas and Australia, and what modern discoveries reveal about the future copper supply curve.

• 100m at 0.3% Cu drill intercept is a reliable predictor of billion-pound copper resources
• Discovery rates have declined sharply over the past decade despite increased spending
• Americas and Australia dominate recent significant copper discoveries
• Element 29, Hot Chili, and FireFly Metals represent the most compelling recent discoveries
• Copper deficit of 4-8 million tonnes per year projected by 2030-2035
• Grade decline in existing mines compounds supply pressure from insufficient discoveries
