Supply and permitting challenges mean buying over building
https://www.fastmarkets.com/insight...s-are-buying-rather-than-building-new-supply/
Quirk says there are limited actionable copper projects today, and the lead times for developing new sources are longer.
Discovering new copper deposits is becoming increasingly challenging. Despite ongoing efforts, the industry faces hurdles in finding viable new sites. Lengthy permitting processes can delay projects significantly, with some running out of funds before they even start.
Quirk says, “if companies could invest, make discoveries, go forward with project development, they would be doing that all over the place. It just shows the scarcity of copper and it’s leading people to say if I do want exposure I may have to buy it rather than build it because building is very long term and uncertain.”
Kathleen Quirk, CEO and president of Freeport-McMoRan
