Copper traders bullish for first time in six weeks

British Columbia's exploration sector has over 60 critical mineral projects waiting for permits.

Supplies from Switzerland to Britain in October reached the highest level since June 2021.

The permit would allow Electra to advance exploration across its Iron Creek deposit, the Ruby project, as well as the neighboring CAS and Redcastle option properties.

The monthly drop in production was mainly due to lower supply from the Andean country's two largest copper miners - Cerro Verde and Antamina.
