Cochilco expects to hold copper price till 2026
“These projections are supported by a rise in copper demand from the energy transition, electricity grids and a limited supply,” Claudia Rodriguez, Cochilco’s interim VP, said in a statement, adding that geopolitical tensions also played a role.
“Uncertainty about China’s economic recovery, tariffs implemented by the United States and the hardening of monetary policy could limit the demand for copper, affecting its price,” Rodriguez said.
It also expects Chile’s copper production to rise by 4.6% this year to 5.76 million tons and grow another 3.6% to 5.97 million tons in 2026.

‘No evidence’ man knew gold was stolen, jury told
Follow up on Stolen Gold Toilet from art exhibit at Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire
There is no evidence a man on trial in connection with the theft of a £4.8m golden toilet knew the gold he was dealing with was stolen, a jury has been told.
The prosecution said the 41-year-old’s decision not to give evidence meant he failed to answer a number of questions, including what the gold looked like when it was delivered to his jewellers in Hatton Garden.
“What clear evidence is there that Mr Guccuk did anything wrong or criminal?”

Copper traded on the London Metal Exchange has jumped 14 per cent this year and reached $US10,046.50 a tonne on Thursday, the highest since October.
“Traders are redirecting the metal from Asia to take advantage of the price premium and skirt any potential tariffs on the metal,” said ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes.
“The US copper rush could leave the rest of the world tight on copper if demand picks up more quickly than expected,” said ING commodity strategist Ewa Manthey.

Zambia allows geologists to explore copper deposits
India has dispatched a team of geologists to Zambia to explore copper and cobalt deposits, two Indian government sources said, as New Delhi steps up efforts to secure critical mineral supplies essential to its energy transition.
The Zambian government this year agreed to allocate 9,000 square km (3,475 square miles) to India for the exploration of cobalt – a key component in batteries for electric vehicles and mobile phones – as well as for scouting copper, which is widely used in power generation, electronics, and construction.
The exploration project will last for three years and most of the analysis will be done in laboratories in India, one of the sources said.

Author Collin Plume predicts spike in silver
“Bitcoin disrupted global finance just a decade ago, now, silver is emerging as the next keystone of global transformation—poised to reshape industries, currencies and geopolitics.”
“With reserves projected to run out in just 20 years, Plume predicts silver’s price could surpass $60 per ounce.”
According to Plume, nonsourced calculations are “showing the U.S. would need over 3.5 billion ounces [109,375 tons] of silver to transition to 100 percent solar power.” The writer and his publisher say this ties into “how China’s dominance in silver production threatens U.S. strategic interests.”
