The Red Metal Goes Green During Energy rEVolution: Let's Talk About The Big Picture Of Supply And Demand For Copper.



Visual Capitalist has created brilliant infographics for the Copper Development Association. Let's talk about the big picture of supply and demand for copper. Two major trends are colliding which will define the supply and demand for the Green Energy Metal. We have exponential growth of sales for electric cars, charging networks, solar and wind energy systems. And lack of new discoveries and head grade going down across all copper industry.




Red metal goes green in the Tesla Energy rEVolution. Goldman Sachs now estimates that copper will be in structural "severe deficits" starting from 2023. And it is happening even before The Switch - the real mass-scale transition to renewable energy generation and when electric cars will affect millions of households all over the world. Despite stormy markets, the smart money was buying all the best copper projects last year. Only new copper giants like Los Azules Copper project under operation by the legendary McEwen Mining can bridge the coming very soon huge supply gap. 




Visual Capitalist presents a brilliant illustration of copper place in the energy rEVolution and particularly in electric vehicles. Smart Grids connecting renewables like Solar and Wind with the grid and charging infrastructure for electric cars will bring another drive for copper demand for very many years to come. Green Energy Metals Royalty Company TNR Gold holds 0.36% NSR Royalty on the entire Los Azules Copper project in Argentina and you can find more information about it in our presentation below.

In a news release dated February 21, 2019, McEwen Mining Inc. ("McEwen Mining") stated: "Our focus is on delivering near-term production growth from our projects in the United States and Canada, and on advancing Los Azules." The statement gives TNR confidence that McEwen Mining is keen to move the Los Azules project forward. 
In addition, McEwen Mining stated the following on its 100% owned Los Azules project: "We spent $6 million at Los Azules during 2018. The activities performed were mainly technical site investigations and environmental baseline monitoring work, to advance permitting efforts. We are currently investigating a new access route to the project that, if developed into a road, could provide year-round access to Los Azules, greatly accelerating the potential development of the project and reducing operating costs. Our 2019 exploration budget for Los Azules is $3 million." 
McEwen Mining's press releases and website material appear to be prepared by "Qualified Persons" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101")) and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed by McEwen Mining are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify McEwen Mining's information, nor to determine the current mineral reserve or resource or any other information referred to in their press releases.

100% owned by McEwen Mining, TNR holds a 0.36% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Project. The Los Azules Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) uses commodity price assumptions of $3.00/lb copper, $1,300/oz gold, and $17/oz silver, resulting in an un-discounted net smelter return over the life of the mining project of $35.2 billion, and $10.6 billion using an 8% discount rate. This means TNR’s 0.36% NSR royalty equates to ~$38m life of mine value after applying the 8% discount rate, based on the PEA’s assumptions."

Tesla Energy rEVolution And The Golden Age For Copper: A Million Tons Of Copper Is On The Way - It Will Not Be Enough.




Bloomberg brings copper into the headlines again with their analysis of "bullish spirits" observed among analysts at the industry event last week. This is not even a rhetorical question for all insiders: "A Million Tons of Copper Is on the Way - It May Not Be Enough". It can be pronounced with certainty - it will not be enough. I will go here with Goldman Sachs this time. Two major trends are colliding which will define the supply and demand for the Green Energy Metal. We have exponential growth of sales for electric cars, charging, solar and wind energy systems. And lack of new discoveries and head grade going down across all copper industry.

Gold In The USA: Kirill Klip GEM Royalty TNR Gold Presentation May 2019 - Gold In The Alaskan Elephant Country.




Barrick Gold is developing together with NovaGold 40MOZ giant Donlin Gold in Alaska - "arguably the most important Gold project in the world." So where will you be looking for the new elephants? Maybe in the Alaskan Elephant Country. Barrick Gold received crucial permits to advance Donlin Gold now and this new developing mining district in the US can make the promise of "Gold In the USA" providing stable supply feasible again and it can become that solution to "The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis" McKinsey is talking about:
"The Company's strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a partnership with one of the major gold mining companies. TNR Gold ("TNR") is actively introducing the project to interested parties," commented Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of TNR. "We may be at the beginning of a great discovery. There is a clear path on how to move this project forward using the geological and geophysical research currently available to target drilling to expand the resource and form the basis of a preliminary economic analysis. The next step is to acquire a partner that shares our vision and recognizes the growth potential and value to be added to the Shotgun project over time."

Gold In The Alaskan Elephant Country. McKinsey: Can The Gold Industry Return To The Golden Age? It’s Time To Dig For A Solution To The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis.




Gold loves FED in the election cycle. "Growth solves a lot of problems", according to Larry Kudlow, but what to do when there is no growth anymore? Statutory limitations are making the question to be or not to be elected rhetorical and the only unknown now is what will be the price for the world to pay for the privilege. Among not so many options, throwing US Dollar under the bus seems to be the least unpatriotic compared to many bad choices tried last time. At least it is not a new war.




The majority of voters are not flying to St. Barts for the weekend and they will hardly notice any changes in FED's "Strong Dollar Policy from 1913". They will not be hit with afterparty checks presented in euro. The young libertarians will continue to study Austrian economics on Twitter and play "revolution" with the myriad of sh$tcoins, so weaker dollar will not propel Gold to $10,000 any time soon, which can become uncomfortably disturbing for the lost MMT academics.




And, what is the most important, this is all not a theory anymore and the same Larry Kudlow is calling now for FED to cut 50 basis points. Nobody knows the future, but the weaker dollar and negative real rates, like they are already in Europe, will normally move Gold price higher. Central banks are buying Gold at the highest rate since Nixon closed the Gold window and frontrunning all brave libertarians who are still experimenting with their money being tortured by elliptic-curve cryptography, decentralised, distributed from them and centralised again by the super smart shadow characters on the WEB.




In this perfect picture for the next few years: when we will be promised to see the uninterrupted bull markets supported by the strongest economy, which will be pumped by the fearless FED - we have only one missing piece, according to naughty McKinsey. They have managed to find The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis.




Even sh$tcoins prophets know that supply and demand still matter and only happy hodlers can help them to distribute all hard earned founder coins to the freedom-hungry public who is still hiding on facebook from the Big Brother. Gold market manipulation will work only to a certain extent, rising demand for Gold will require more supply in order to make the increase in Gold price manageable for all organised interested parties involved.




And here we have a problem now, according to McKinsey: "Reserves by major Gold companies have declined 26% from 2012 and now below 2007 levels." M&A will be only part of the solution for some companies as it only redistributes the same Gold reserves, we need new discoveries and new elephant projects coming online just to address the gap between growing demand and available supply.




These two major trends are colliding and pushing the gold price to resume its bullish ascend: weaker dollar which is desired now in order to keep growth intact and keep debt crisis manageable; and available Gold reserves just to keep annual production enough for feeding the increased demand without Gold hitting the headlines every week.




Barrick Gold is developing together with NovaGold 40MOZ giant Donlin Gold in Alaska - "arguably the most important Gold project in the world." So where will you be looking for the new elephants? Maybe in the Alaskan Elephant Country. Barrick Gold received crucial permits to advance Donlin Gold now and this new developing mining district in the US can make the promise of "Gold In the USA" providing stable supply feasible again and it can become that solution to "The Gold Mining Reserve Crisis" McKinsey is talking about:
