Soaring demand for copper will help drive mergers, BHP CEO says
Demand for copper, a key element in the energy transition, is set to rise by 70% to 100% by 2050, Mike Henry said
Western Copper (WRN.TO) has begun engineering studies to determine whether it can modify plans that pushed regulators to reject its request for a water use license at its Carmacks copper project in Canada’s Yukon Territory.
A recent court ruling in the northwestern territory upheld the Yukon Water Board’s decision to reject Western Copper’s plans, forcing the exploration company to go back to the drawing board.
