In the past, most companies viewed US$3.50/lb as the incentive price for new copper developments.
If companies (i.e. the C Suite and/or BoD) truly believe copper prices will remain at US$3.00/lb longer-term (see Tweet above), then that will neither spur development action or M&A.
Goldman Sachs believes that the green revolution is likely to create a record wide copper supply gap by 2030, as not many big new copper projects are coming on stream.
My bet, the C Suite and BoD will wake up and smell the copper coffee as their companies copper reserves are depleting.
Decarbonisation means a massive increase in demand for copper and other resource sector commodities to facilitate the increase in electric vehicles and solar and wind power generation.
Governments are mandating for a rapid shift to EV's.
This is a multi-decade event.
As RFC Ambrian put it 2 years ago, Copper M&A: the Cupboard is Nearly Bare. See Post#: 41974288
The momentum is up. Demand is escalating. Supply looks like it is coming under pressure.
IMO, there is no ceiling for copper prices.
Cheers
