Jay sits down with Ian Harris, CEO of Copper Giant, to unpack why the copper market may be entering a much tighter phase. They discuss the connection between the Strait of Hormuz, and copper and other industrial inputs before turning to the bigger structural problem: years of underinvestment and a shortage of large-scale copper deposits. Ian also breaks down Copper Giant’s Colombia project, the upcoming preliminary economic assessment, the current drill program and why major mining companies may soon be forced to compete for the few remaining large copper development assets.
