The Metals that Make the World
BY JUSTIN TOLMAN · 9/29/2025
Sprott economic geologist and Senior Portfolio Manager Justin Tolman joins Ed Coyne for a deep dive on demand trends for steel, copper and silver and what it might take to successfully invest in the metals that build the world.
Steel Meets Rising Global Electricity Demand
BY JUSTIN TOLMAN · 9/15/2025
Steel is emerging as a strategic material in meeting global electricity demands, underpinning everything from power generation and transmission to electric vehicles and grid modernization. Demand for green steel is accelerating with market forecasts projecting rapid growth relative to traditional steel.
Copper Fundamentals Prevail After Tariff Turmoil
BY JACOB WHITE · 9/08/2025
Copper rallied in August, with junior copper miners taking top performance honors. Policy momentum is accelerating as copper gains critical minerals status and attracts major investment. Copper miners are enjoying strong margins as copper demand rises to support electrification, AI and defense.
Silver Investment Outlook Mid-Year 2025
BY MARIA SMIRNOVA · 7/21/2025
Silver gained nearly 25% through mid-year, and continues to rise in July, as supply remains tight and demand accelerates. With silver crucial to new technologies, the metal is benefiting from powerful structural tailwinds and renewed interest from investors.
