Copper Is Having a Resurgence Thanks To Renewable Energy And EV Push, And World Copper Is Positioning Itself To Benefit
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga There’s been a lot of excitement lately around the new highs gold has been achieving, but another metal also seems to be witnessing a resurgence – copper. So much so that, by some estimates, 2035 demand is forecast to outstrip supply to the tune of 22 billion pounds per year. Driving a lot of that demand are the renewable energy and electric vehicles sectors, and the general global push toward electrification. The world is moving toward a greener future and copper is helping get it there. Over the next decade, copper consumption is forecast to increase by a minimum of ten million metric tons. It’s already in a tight supply environment, which drove copper prices to a two-year high earlier this year. All of it is good news for World Copper Ltd. (OTC: WCUFF), the Vancouver-based miner that happens to have a copper mining project in Arizona, a state rich in the “eternal metal.” In the early 20th century, Arizona was the world’s copper mining capital. Today it is responsible for about 74% of the country’s copper. It is home to some of the world’s largest copper mines including Morenci Mine, owned by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX). All told, there are ten major copper mines in the state. World Copper’s proximity to these mines should bode well for the company’s position and future growth. “Copper’s essential role in electrification, renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles underscores its strategic importance,” wrote StockResearch Today in a recent report looking at World Copper’s prospects. “Copper prices are projected to remain strong due to supply constraints and increasing demand, which can drive up copper prices and, consequently, the company’s profitability. Strategically Located Mine World Copper’s Zonia project, which is in the Walnut Grove Mining District, Yavapai County, Arizona, consists of 96 patented and 185 unpatented mineral claims, 566.85 acres of surface rights acquired from the state of Arizona and 376 acres purchased from a private estate – all totaling 4,373 acres. Zonia is a near-surface, copper-oxide resource and a brownfield site having already been pre-stripped and mined in the late 1960s and ’70s. The project has been significantly de-risked with over 50,000 meters of drilling completed to date and with substantial amounts of detailed engineering completed. The Zonia project’s most recent mineral resource estimate includes 75.7 million short tons grading 0.30% total copper (Indicated Resources) containing 450.5 million pounds of copper and 122 million short tons grading 0.24% total copper (Inferred Resources) containing 575.4 million pounds of copper. With a favorable NPV of $192 million at $3.00/lb copper and resource expansion potential, Zonia represents a low-risk, high-reward investment, World Copper says. Furthermore, World Copper recently identified a new opportunity at the mine, finding what could amount to over 14 million tons of historically mined material available for re-processing. “The prospect of re-processing historically mined mineralized material would add more value and provide additional upside to the Zonia Project, and it is a unique potential value opportunity,” said Gord Neal, CEO of World Copper. “In mining projects, any opportunity to start production early and to generate revenue right from the start of the operations, can greatly improve the economics of the project, increasing the net present value (NPV) and reducing the financing needs, making the project more robust, and lowering the execution risk.” A Green Edge The Zonia mine boasts several infrastructure advantages including on-site power and water, road and rail access, close proximity to major cities and existing mining operations, which brings down production and transportation costs. Arizona is also a mining-friendly state making it easier to obtain permits. Proximity and infrastructure aren’t the only advantages World Copper can boast of – the company also has an environmentally friendly and cost-effective mining process. As it stands, World Copper estimates that 85% of global refined copper production comes from sulphide concentration and smelting. It’s expensive, slow to develop and harmful to the environment. Only 15% of global refined copper production comes from oxide deposits, which are cheaper, faster and greener. World Copper is among the handful of miners using oxide deposits. But that’s not all. Its SX-EW (solvent extraction-electrowinning) process eliminates the need for smelting, lowering emissions. All told, World Copper is cutting costs and curbing emissions by 38%. The goal is to achieve net zero CO2 emissions. Mining companies are being put under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable mining practices, and embracing them increases the company’s appeal to ESG-focused investors. Seasoned Management Team It shouldn’t be too surprising that World Copper says the Zonia project is moving along hiccup-free – the company is run by a seasoned team of professionals led by CEO Neal. Neal has extensive experience in the metals and mining sector, as well as in capital markets, corporate governance, corporate finance and investor relations. Board members Derek White, who has over 35 years of experience in senior management and mine building, and Myron Smith, who has successfully permitted multiple mining projects in Arizona, round out the pedigree, which includes several other C-suite players. World Copper says its experienced team enables it to efficiently navigate project development, regulatory challenges and market dynamics, increasing the likelihood of project success and value creation for investors. Copper is playing an important role in the world’s transition to green energy and World Copper is positioning itself to be a major supplier of the eternal metal. With a mine strategically located in Arizona, a green and low-cost approach and a deep management bench, World Copper may prove to be an ESG holding that’s around for the long haul.

SUN.io Launches SUN DAO to Enhance Decentralized Governance and Drive Ecosystem Innovation
Singapore,July 30, 2024, 12:00 PM – SUN.io, a leading DeFi platform built on the TRON blockchain, is thrilled to announce the launch of SUN DAO. This strategic initiative aims to enhance SUN.io’s decentralized governance and community autonomy. By expanding the real-world use cases of the SUN token, SUN DAO will support the development and long-term governance of the SUN.io protocol. At its core, SUN DAO relies on its protocol functions and the SUN token for security. These functions, which include community engagement, incentive measures, self-regulation, and policy management, are governed through on-chain proposals. The SUN token will be integral to this governance process, integrating and digitizing various forms of capital, such as monetary and human resources, and encouraging active participation from community members in governance and proposals. With the introduction of SUN DAO, SUN.io will transition to a fully decentralized governance model, empowering community members to participate actively in the platform’s voting and decision-making processes. Industry experts believe that SUN DAO will redefine decentralized governance, setting new benchmarks in the DeFi ecosystem for transparency, fairness, and innovation. Explore New Horizons in Decentralized Governance with SUN DAO SUN DAO leverages innovative incentive mechanisms and a tiered governance structure to establish a future-proof governance model, ensuring the long-term success of the SUN.io protocol. This approach is designed to drive continuous growth and improvement, maintaining the platform’s relevance and effectiveness for decades to come. Under the current system, SUN holders can collectively manage the protocol and vote on proposals by converting their tokens into veSUN. Community members with a specified amount of veSUN holdings can submit proposals. For a proposal to be executed, it must receive a minimum number of yes votes and have more yes votes than no votes. This mechanism ensures efficient governance without third-party intervention, allowing the protocol to operate, manage, and develop autonomously according to predefined rules, thereby maximizing efficiency. The SUN token plays a crucial role in this process, digitizing and tokenizing all organizational elements, integrating both monetary and human capital, and significantly enhancing overall efficiency. According to the SUN.io team, the SUN token economy is designed to foster the healthy development and growth of the SUN.io ecosystem in the long term, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders under a robust protocol. SUN.io has introduced economic incentives based on the trust established by SUN DAO, including mutual trust among SUN token holders, the market, liquidity providers, and integrators. These liquidity-based governance approaches aim to sustain active participation in the voting process and expand the pools as the ecosystem grows and attracts more participants. Fostering Innovation on SUN.io to Unlock Diverse veSUN Use Cases The official launch of SUN DAO will significantly expand the use cases of its vote escrow mechanism, veSUN, encouraging greater participation from community users and driving further innovation and development across the SUN.io ecosystem. Users can lock up SUN tokens to receive veSUN, the voting certificate that grants them a voice in platform governance. Those holding a certain amount of veSUN can submit governance proposals to support new markets, add functionalities to the protocol, and more. Other veSUN holders can vote on the proposals while enjoying benefits such as liquidity mining boosts, votes to determine the weights of liquidity pools and 50% of transaction fees in stablecoin pools. Industry experts believe that adopting autonomous governance will revitalize the SUN.io ecosystem. By decentralizing community governance, users gain greater flexibility in resource allocation and can contribute valuable insights for development and improvement. This approach unites community efforts to drive product iteration and fosters a stronger sense of belonging and responsibility among members. By introducing a decentralized, multi-tiered governance framework powered by an incentivized system, SUN DAO motivates community members to propose innovative ideas and solutions, ensuring active participation in the voting process. By attracting new users and investments, SUN DAO fosters growth and innovation within the platform and the broader DeFi sector. As a crucial component of the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io’s implementation of the DAO model is set to attract a broader community of users and developers, supporting TRON in maintaining a healthy, self-reinforcing DeFi ecosystem. SUN.io, the pioneering integrated platform on the TRON network, offers a comprehensive suite of decentralized financial services, including stablecoin swaps, liquidity mining, and the conversion of Dominica’s authorized digital currency while enabling self-governance. As of July 2024, SUN.io amassed a total value locked (TVL) of $431 million. The establishment of SUN DAO will further solidify its leading role in the DeFi ecosystem by extending premium decentralized financial services globally, fostering sustained innovation and growth in the industry.
