Copper is the ultimate green energy metal as it is used in just about everything you can think of related to solar, wind, EVs, EV charging, and ultimately electricity transmission. Copper really is essential to our modern living. Perhaps that is why Goldman Sachs (“GS”) calls copper ‘the new oil‘.

GS state: “Without serious advancements in carbon capture and storage technology in the coming years, the entire path to net zero emissions will have to come from abatement – electrification and renewable energy. As the most cost-effective conductive material, copper sits at the heart of capturing, storing and transporting these new sources of energy.”

Wood Mackenzie forecast a growing copper deficit from 2025 to 2030

Now that we have established the key importance and huge demand wave ahead for copper the next thing to consider is what copper company to buy. Clearly, its copper project should be in a safe country and have the potential to grow the resource and grow production. Ideally, the Company would have more than one promising copper project and a low market cap to maximize upside if the company succeeds in its growth plans.

Today’s company has all of the above. Not one, but two, promising copper projects in North America.

Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF) (“Kodiak”) 100% owns the Man, Prime, Dillard (“MPD”) copper-gold porphyry project in British Columbia, Canada and the Mohave Copper-Molybdenum-Silver Porphyry Project in Arizona USA.

Kodiak’s projects are still in the exploration stage with drilling ongoing.

Man, Prime, Dillard (“MPD”) copper-gold porphyry Project

At the MPD Project, Kodiak plans to drill up to 25,000 metres in 2022 as well as complete 3D IP surveying and soil geochemical sampling. Kodiak is fully funded for the company’s 2022 exploration program.

In some very exciting news announced on September 29, 2022, the Company reported: “Kodiak drills 1.03% CuEq over 117 m, within 0.34% CuEq over 735.4 m at Gate Zone, and discovers new trend at Prime Zone.” The grades may just be average but the drill lengths are ‘exceptional’ and typical of huge copper porphyry discoveries. Kodiak President and CEO, Claudia Tornquist, stated: “The Gate Zone has delivered further impressive drill intercepts as we continue to increase the size of mineralized envelope which now extends to a kilometer in north-south direction and a depth of 900 metres…….This new mineralized trend crystalizes further size potential and validates our model of a large multi-centric porphyry system at MPD.”

The size of the MPD porphyry looks to be very large, obviously with further drilling required to gain further confirmation. For now, we know that the high-grade Gate Zone discovery at MPD shows significant size potential with mineralization over 1 km strike x 350m width x 900m depth. Added to this are the emerging Man and Dillard Zones, as well as the potential for more discoveries elsewhere on the 147 km2 property.

Next steps in 2022 at the MPD Project will include further drilling to test high priority targets in the Dillard area and the exploration program to continue evaluating additional copper-gold drill targets across the MPD property.

Kodiak Copper trades on a market cap of only C$55 million. The Board and management are top tier with a track record of success, especially Chairman Christopher Taylor with his success at Great Bear Resources Ltd. Kodiak Copper is well worth a look for those with some patience and seeking a high risk/high reward copper junior miner.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a close look at the copper chart and, in my opinion, it doesn’t look too bad right now. Like almost everything, we’ve seen a significant price decline since April of this year, and despite a brief rally in late May, the commodity has since been taken to the woodshed and didn’t stop hemorrhaging until mid-July. Since then, it looks like copper may have put in a bottom at roughly US$3.20/lb and held that level again in late September. It is currently attempting to climb back above the 50 day moving average which would be a positive signal, but before I get too excited about copper I’d like to see it punch back above US$3.70/lb. From there it looks like it has limited overhead resistance until the US$4.10/lb threshold after which it could go for a run back to the US$4.70/lb range. But cresting US$4.10/lb probably needs a lot of positive economic news over the next few months. Regardless, it looks like we’ve got a decent support level at US$3.20/lb suggesting there could be more upside than downside from current levels.

This begs the question of where to look if you want exposure to copper. The company with the most recent exciting news is probably Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF). The latest news regarding the Company’s most advanced asset, the 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the prolific Quesnel Trough in south-central British Columbia, Canada, appears to be very encouraging. The 147 square kilometer MPD project has all the hallmarks of a large, multi-centered porphyry system. Kodiak has made the Gate Zone discovery of high-grade mineralization within a wide mineralized envelope, and MPD hosts several other targets with similar discovery potential.

Last week Kodiak announced the latest results for five drill holes from their fully funded 25,000 meter 2022 drill program, and there were some pretty interesting numbers.

Highlights include:

• MPD-22-006 intersected 117 meters of 0.69% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au, and 2.22 g/t Ag (1.03% CuEq) within 735.4 meters of 0.24% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au and 0.71 g/t Ag (0.34% CuEq).
• MPD-22-008 intersected 59.9 meters of 0.33% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au, and 1.77 g/t Ag (0.52% CuEq) within 585 meters of 0.18% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au and 0.71 g/t Ag (0.25% CuEq).
• MPD-22-005 extended the Gate Zone mineralization to depth and intersected 190.2 meters of 0.19% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, and 1.07 g/t Ag (0.29% CuEq) within 715.2 meters of 0.13% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au and 0.65 g/t Ag (0.19% CuEq).

All of this relates to the Gate Zone. Porphyry mineralization at Gate has been traced down to 900 m depth, across a width of 350 m (east-west) and over 1 km in length (north-south). In addition, the Company reported holes MPD-22-013 and MPD-22-017 which intersected a new mineralized trend northeast of, and adjacent to Gate called the Prime Zone. The new Prime Zone trend has been drilled down to 550 m depth, across 200 m width (east-west) and over 400 m length (north-south).

With over 700 m of mineralization, can you say bulk tonnage? Plus, I was looking at this and thinking to myself that I’ve seen some junior gold explorers with numbers that aren’t as good as just the gold components in these drill results. But perhaps that’s not what a company called Kodiak Copper wants me to fixate on. Instead, we’ll look at what catalysts lie ahead for the company over the next weeks and months.

Drilling for 2022 is on schedule and Kodiak has completed 33 holes totaling 21,300 meters as of September 26. Drilling has transitioned to testing high priority targets in the Dillard area and the program will continue evaluating additional copper-gold drill targets across the MPD property throughout the fall. A new 3D Induced Polarization (3D IP) geophysical survey is currently underway which will be completed this month, covering nine square kilometers and extending southward from the Gate Zone to the Man and Dillard target areas. The latter is important because the extension of the Gate Zone and delineation of the new Prime Zone confirm that recent 3D IP surveys are an effective tool for targeting host geology and discovering prospective porphyritic mineralization on the MPD Project.

Anyone who has read my articles in the past knows I’m always on the lookout for drill results. A previous corporate update stated that Kodiak had completed 29 holes totaling 19,150 meters as of September 9. This indicates that there are plenty of drill results still to come. Additionally, at the end of June Kodiak still had almost C$14 million in cash to continue unlocking the secrets of the MPD Property. With a market cap of C$30.5 million it would seem there is plenty of leverage to copper prices at Kodiak.

In this InvestorIntel interview, host Peter Clausi talks to Kodiak Copper Corp.‘s (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF) President, CEO, and Director Claudia Tornquist about the company’s recent drill results and fully-funded multi-year drill program at its MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia.

“Until now most of our drilling was at the Gate Zone where we made the initial discovery,” Claudia says, “but MPD from all we can tell, what our data tells us, is a multi-centric porphyry center just like Copper Mountain next door.” Talking about Kodiak’s recently released drill hole results, Claudia discusses the new high-grade copper-gold-silver intercepts reported at the Gate Zone which filled in a 170 metre gap at its south end, and how drill-testing anomalies identified a nearby 400 metre long, parallel mineralized trend. She tells Peter about “the headline hole intercept with a long hole mineralized over 734 metres and 0.34 copper equivalent,” and “very importantly this long hole had also a long high-grade section in the middle of 117 metres of more than 1% copper equivalent.”

With about 21,000 of 25,000 metres of drilling now completed, Claudia tells Peter that “we won’t have to go back to the market for additional cash anytime soon. We have $10 million in the treasury” to fund this and next year’s drill program, she says, adding, “it’s a very important point in these markets.”

About Power Nickel Inc.

Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company focusing on high-potential copper, gold, and battery metal prospects in Canada and Chile.

On February 1, 2021, Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (CRE:TSXV)

The NISK property comprises a large land position (20 kilometers of strike length) with numerous high-grade intercepts. Power Nickel, formerly Chilean Metals is focused on confirming and expanding its current high-grade nickel-copper PGE mineralization historical resource by preparing a new Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with NI 43-101, identifying additional high-grade mineralization, and developing a process to potentially produce nickel sulphates responsibly for batteries to be used in the electric vehicles industry.

Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) announced on June 8^th, 2021 that an agreement has been made to complete the 100% acquisition of its Golden Ivan project in the heart of the Golden Triangle. The Golden Triangle has reported mineral resources (past production and current resources) in a total of 67 million ounces of gold, 569 million ounces of silver, and 27 billion pounds of copper. This property hosts two known mineral showings (gold ore and magee), and a portion of the past-producing Silverado mine, which was reportedly exploited between 1921 and 1939. These mineral showings are described to be Polymetallic veins that contain quantities of silver, lead, zinc, plus/minus gold, and plus/minus copper.

Power Nickel is the 100-per-cent owner of five properties comprising over 50,000 acres strategically located in the prolific iron-oxide-copper-gold belt of northern Chile. It also owns a 3-per-cent NSR royalty interest on any future production from the Copaquire copper-molybdenum deposit, recently sold to a subsidiary of Teck resources Inc. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Teck has the right to acquire one-third of the 3-per-cent NSR for $3-million at any time. The Copaquire property borders Teck’s producing Quebrada Blanca copper mine in Chile’s first region.

Copper is considered by most analysts as the most essential and critical metal for the green revolution. This is because copper is required to conduct electricity in everything from electric vehicles (EVs), charging stations, solar panels, wind turbines, and so on. This means any companies that can develop a significant copper resource, especially in a safe country, stand to do very well.

Today’s company is steadily growing their copper-gold porphyry discovery in Canada and set to soon start its maiden drilling program at a second copper-gold porphyry project, this time in the USA.

Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF) (Kodiak) had an outstanding 2021 as they did plenty of the groundwork to grow a copper and gold resource, with a focus on a large drilling campaign at their Gate Zone discovery at the company’s MPD Project in British Columbia (BC), Canada. To date the best drill intercept has been 535m of 0.49% copper and 0.29 g/t gold (0.76% CuEq), showing the significant potential for a large copper-gold porphyry discovery. Another more recent result shows the potential to expand the mineralization strike length with 126m of 0.87% CuEq within 537m of the Gate Zone.

Kodiak has three projects:

• The Man, Prime, Dillard (MPD) copper-gold porphyry project – 100% owned, 147km² land package (includes the 2021 acquired Axe property) in a proven, mineral producing belt, in BC, Canada. The MPD Property has road access and is close to nearby power, towns, and other mines.
• The Mohave Copper-Molybdenum-Silver Porphyry Project in Arizona, USA.
• The Kahuna Diamond Project in Canada.

President & CEO, Claudia Tornquist, gives a great summary of Kodiak in 2021 stating in the Annual Investor Letter:

“The 2021 drill program was primarily focused on extending the Gate Zone discovery by systematically evaluating the associated copper-in-soil anomaly of approximately one kilometer in length. Drilling consistently delivered substantial high-grade intercepts within wide envelopes of lower grade mineralization, and over the year we increased the strike length of the Gate Zone by almost eight times. Mineralization has been intersected to date over 950 meters in length, down to a depth of 850 meters and across a width of 350 meters, dimensions typical of other large, multi-center copper porphyry deposits in British Columbia. The Gate Zone remains open in multiple directions, and we are excited to drill it further in 2022.”

Potential to expand the Gate Zone, and a similar nearby potential mineralized zone

The Gate Zone is open at depth and to the sides. Recent conductive 3D IP anomalies traced to depth highlight potential extensions of Gate Zone mineralization along strike and down plunge to the south and southeast. A new one kilometre long parallel “look-alike” 3D IP response similar to the response of copper-gold mineralization drilled at Gate has been identified 600 meters to the southeast of the Gate Zone.

2022 plans for Kodiak

The 2022 drill program will be approximately 25,000 meters at multiple targets. These targets will include further drilling at the Gate Zone, new drilling at the Dillard area (2 kms from the Gate Zone), drilling along the 3km regional magnetic anomaly between the Gate and Man Zones, drill testing analogous targets elsewhere across the MPD Property, and drilling the newly acquired Axe claims which are contiguous and south of the MPD project area with further discovery potential.

The 3D model below incorporates a combination of historic drilling and Kodiak’s recent drilling results as of end 2021. It will be very exciting to see a similar model by end 2022 and 2023, and just how big the resource can potentially grow.

Also in 2022, Kodiak plans to commence a maiden drilling program at their Mohave copper porphyry project in Arizona, USA.

Closing remarks

Kodiak is already moving very fast at their MPD Project in BC, Canada. Drill results continue to be very positive, and a significant potential resource is growing with very real potential to expand the Gate zone and other targets (Man, Dillard, Axe) in 2022. Then there is the Mohave Project maiden drilling program in 2022.

Kodiak Copper trades on a market cap of only C$65 million and has enormous potential. Judging upon their 2021 exploration success at MPD, 2022 looks like being another great year. Stay tuned.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Chris Thompson spoke with Claudia Tornquist, President, CEO, and Director of Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF) about the global copper supply shortage and about identifying new high-priority drill targets near high-grade Gate Zone copper-gold deposit on Kodiak’s MPD porphyry project in British Columbia.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Claudia Tornquist said that the results of ground geophysical and soil geochemical surveys from the MPD project highlight the potential to further extend the mineralization at Gate Zone substantially. With NYSE listed Teck Resources Limited as its largest shareholder, Claudia went on to say that Kodiak Copper aims for a bigger drill program this year and to take the model that brought success at Gate Zone and replicate that on other high priority drill targets.

In this episode of the Critical Minerals Corner, Tracy Weslosky is joined by Critical Minerals’ industry expert and InvestorIntel Editor-in-Chief Jack Lifton, Critical Minerals Corner Co-Host & InvestorIntel Columnist Byron King, and Claudia Tornquist, President, CEO, and Director of Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF). They spoke about the rising demand for copper and about how Kodiak’s copper projects will contribute to the North American supply chain.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), the panel highlighted the several decades of under exploration and underinvestment in the copper sector. They went on to discuss the global shift towards localizing the supply of critical materials and why it is critical to bring online new copper projects such as Kodiak’s MPD copper-gold porphyry project located in the safe and mining-friendly jurisdiction of British Columbia. With NYSE listed Teck Resources as the largest shareholder, Claudia went on to provide an update on Kodiak’s high-grade Gate Zone discovery at the MPD Project located in the vicinity of large producing copper mines.

Copper has had a pretty wild ride, so far, in 2021. Starting the year at just over US$3.50/lb, it quickly gained momentum with optimism over the “opening up” of trade based on the perception (at the time) that perhaps we had nipped Covid in the bud, and that the global economy would soon get back to some semblance of normal. This rallied the price of copper up to a high of US$4.37/lb in late February before the price consolidated in the US$4.00-US$4.20/lb range. The next rally was driven by the excitement around the green revolution or the electrification of everything. Every pundit and talking head on the business channels was talking about the growth rate of EVs, renewable energy, battery storage, etc., all of which would soon require a lot more copper than is being produced today. This charge upwards drove copper up to an intraday high of US$4.89/lb in early May, or roughly a 40% gain in just over 4 months. However, as the saying goes, often the cure for high prices is high prices, and that seems to have been the case for copper as the commodity appears to be in a bit of a downtrend at present.

The positive is that there appears to be solid support at roughly the US$4.00/lb threshold, and there hasn’t been a decisive break below the 200 day moving average. I also believe the long term case for copper is compelling. Whatever path we ultimately take to reduce our carbon footprint over the next years and decades is going to require a lot of copper. Will there be up and downs in the interim? For sure. The fallout from the Evergrande, property speculation, debacle in China could put a crimp in their economy, particularly in the building sector, but I don’t feel there will be a global contagion arising from that. In the long run there is a global political will to create a cleaner, greener future for the world, and that is going to make copper a “go to” commodity for a long time.

That’s my long-winded way of saying we should look at a copper stock today. Having grown up in the interior of B.C., one junior explorer I’ve been keeping an eye on is Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK | OTCQB: KDKCF). The Company’s most advanced asset is the MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the prolific Quesnel Trough in southern British Columbia, where in 2020 the Company made a high-grade discovery at the Gate Zone. Plans for 2021 include a fully funded 30,000 metre drill program including several target areas, as well as further geophysical and geochemical surveying, prospecting, and geotechnical studies. By early July, Kodiak had completed over 15 drill holes with results suggesting that the 1.2 kilometre long copper-in soil target in this area is underlain by a significant copper-gold-silver porphyry system. Highlights from the first 6 holes included an increase in the strike length of the Gate Zone from 125 metres to 800 metres, and a 242 metre intersect of 0.52% CuEq.

Unfortunately, the Company had to pause their drilling efforts in August due to wildfire risks, but ramped up activity at the end of August with two drill rigs. As of September 1^st, 25 holes totaling 13,600 metres have been completed and the Gate Zone had been expanded further to 950 metres in length, 350 metres in width (east-west) and to a depth of 800 metres, being open in all directions. This is all pretty exciting, but the best part is that there’s lots more to come. Including drilling the high priority Dillard target which exhibits similar copper-in-soil anomalies, geophysical responses, and has shown encouraging historic drilling like the Gate Zone. Dillard will be drill-tested in Q4 as part of the 2021 program. And let’s not forget we’ve only seen results from the first 6 drill holes, leaving at least 19 still to come, the results from which should be available any day now.

It appears there should be fairly steady news flow out of Kodiak Copper for the rest of 2021. With 48.7 million shares outstanding the Company has a market cap of roughly $61 million based on yesterday’s close of $1.26. They have a fairly tight share structure so any positive news could give this stock a pretty good shot in the arm. Hopefully, exciting news is on its way.
