Copper demand is changing. Previously, related research primarily tracked construction and manufacturing cycles. Sprott's data now tells a different story. AI, data centres, defence and the energy transition made up 32% of copper demand in 2024, and that number is expected to climb to 45% by 2040. As Sprott puts it: "copper miners may offer a long-term investment opportunity as global demand for electricity grows." Oroco is included in Sprott's Junior Copper Miners ETF (Nasdaq: COPJ), alongside a portfolio of junior copper companies positioned around this growing demand.

"The Copper Capex Cycle Takes Shape" - Morgan Stanley Research (August 20) "Capital is rotating into copper." "...growth spending increasingly taking priority over dividends and buybacks." "...development therefore remains the lower-cost route to scale..." "Spot clears the hurdle... On our estimates, spot copper is 40-50% above our long-term incentive-price range." "This supports an accelerated pace of project sanction; however, we do not see this as a synchronised build wave..." "...copper supply is likely to remain constrained." $OCO $ORRCF $OR6

Oroco reports select surface sample of 7.57% Cu at El Platano, Vainilla Project plus a drone magnetic survey covering ~3,114 hectares. "While our primary focus remains the advancement of Santo Tomás, the preliminary results at Vainilla support further systematic evaluation of this property," said Oroco CEO Charles Cryer. "The combination of a selective high-grade copper sample at El Platano, widespread alteration and several distinct mineralized prospects provide a basis for disciplined target development. The proximity to Santo Tomás may also offer logistical benefits if future exploration is successful." Mapping and sampling have advanced the definition of three principal mineralized areas: El Platano, Mazomique and Cristina.
