RE: Copper price to rocket to $40,000 a tonne, says top trader Andurand27 May 2024 18:54
Hi Sprint, its hypothetical, but i believe entirely possible. For the copper price to increase and Jubilee to be producing 100,000 tonnes of copper in 2-3 years. I believe the Abu Dhabi partnership is set to produce at least 50k tonnes per year as intimated by leon. Even at this rate its probably going to take over 50 years to process. I believe Leon has even suggested 12 modules there, might be possible. There is plenty of capacity at Mopani to support 12 modules. Roan and Sable are expected to produce circa 25k tonnes per year between a combination of cathode and copper in solution. So that leaves potential for another 25k tonnes per year, unless of course they elect to put 12 modules on the waste rock project, which will produce them. So my base case is 50k tonnes from the partnership. I am very optimistic that the small mine potential will be developed and fill the other 25k tonnes over the next 2-3 years. After all they have identified 50 licence’s.
