At XPLOR 2025 with Kitco News, Robert Wares Reaffirms Copper’s Bullish Outlook
In conversation with Kitco News at the XPLOR conference in October 2025, our CEO, Robert Wares, reaffirmed copper’s bullish long-term outlook as global production declines by 7% and China tightens its grip on refining capacity, creating a growing supply gap that highlights the need to advance domestic processing and refining capabilities alongside strategic projects like Gaspé Copper. With drilling results revealing a larger-than-expected system and a new resource estimate due in February, Gaspé is emerging as a cornerstone asset for North America’s copper security.
