Ordinarily I would agree with you on the Cu.... but these aren't ordinary times.
China's downturn and global affairs are keeping a lid on most explorers.... with no income.
An example...
This Cu discovery and report by CNB on the 9/9/'24.
Only part of the results.... it did nothing for their SP.... in fact it dropped, go figure.
They opened 9/9 at 41.5c and dropped to 36c next day... 10/9.
It's opened today @ 36.5c.
It's not just a DRE thing and that is why I believe income from gold production will support the SP and provide funding for exploration until the market turns for the better.
We have reached a stage imo where we need to stay afloat slow down dilution and weather out the worldwide financial storm.
Gold will have a buyer at record prices.... there's something to say for that.
