Our Commodities
An Attractive Commodity Mix
A defining strength of Casino is its multi-metal production profile. Casino will produce copper, gold, molybdenum, and silver, four commercially significant metals that contribute to a balanced, diversified production profile.
Diversified metal portfolio and price resilience
Casino provides substantial exposure to critical and precious metals, with copper and gold representing the primary value drivers.
This measured and indicated (M&I) resource distribution reduces the project’s reliance on any single commodity and provides a natural hedge against price volatility — a particularly valuable attribute for a long-life asset.
Canada’s largest critical minerals project
Casino is positioned to become one of North America’s largest producers of copper and molybdenum — both of which are included on Canada’s official list of 34 critical minerals, with copper identified as one of six priority critical minerals for its distinct potential to drive Canadian economic growth.
Copper: the metal of electrification
Exceptional conductivity & durability
- Superior conductivity, durability, and corrosion resistance
- Unlimited recyclability
Demand dynamics
- Energy transition driving massive demand growth
- Rising populations, urbanization, and technological advancements further support the demand side
- Net-zero carbon goals by 2050, solidifying copper’s critical role
Supply challenges
- Average ore grades down ~50% in 20 years
- Over 50% of mines operating 20+ years, requiring significant reinvestment just to maintain output
- New discoveries are increasingly rare
- Average development timelines are 18+ years from discovery to production
Casino’s advantage
- One of Canada’s largest undeveloped copper deposits
- Large-scale, long-life, advanced-stage asset in Canada
Gold: the ultimate store of value
A natural hedge across cycles
- Humanity’s premier store of value for thousands of years
- Maintains relevance across all economic cycles
- Safe-haven asset, inflation hedge, and portfolio diversifier
Geopolitical & monetary trends
- Central banks worldwide are building gold reserves
- De-dollarization is accelerating as countries seek monetary sovereignty
- Ultimate neutral reserve asset that cannot be frozen, sanctioned, or manipulated
Casino’s gold content
- One of North America’s largest undeveloped gold deposits
- A natural hedge throughout commodity cycles
Molybdenum: the strength behind modern infrastructure
High-strength, corrosion-resistant steels
- Critical for jet engines, armour plating, and wind-turbine towers
- Operating temperatures > 1,000 °C in aerospace applications
Market & supply risks
- Chile & China account for ~60% of global production
- Supply‐chain vulnerabilities for North American defence and clean-tech manufacturers
Casino’s molybdenum edge
- Largest undeveloped molybdenum reserve in North America
- Diversifies revenue and underpins Canada’s strategic autonomy
