| |  | | Cashing In On The Copper Crunch
| | | The “Green Revolution,” combined with severe supply constraints, is creating a copper crunch.
Kodiak Copper (KDK.V; KDKCF.OTC) is taking advantage with a multi-target copper project that already boasts one major discovery and multiple kilometre-scale mineralization zones.
Now the hunt is on for even more big copper porphyry discoveries, using powerful AI analysis to home in on the best out of dozens of targets.
| | | | The two charts below show why far higher copper prices are practically assured over the long term.
| | The first shows that copper demand will start outpacing supply, possibly this year, and continue to do so for the next fifteen years at increasingly steep rates due to the electrification trend.

| | The second highlights the copper discovery drought that has occurred over the past fifteen years. Despite a spike of investment during the last bull market in the late 2000s and early 2010s, new copper discoveries have been increasingly hard to come by.

| | In this environment, Kodiak Copper (KDK.V; KDKCF.OTC) and its 100%-owned MPD copper project in south-central British Columbia are sitting pretty.
Since acquiring the project in 2018, Kodiak has already discovered one large, high-grade copper-porphyry center called the Gate Zone at MPD.
| | And as you’re about to see, that’s just the start of what the company believes will be multiple copper-porphyry zones on the project.
| | Because — with a just-announced agreement with the AI-company VRIFY — Kodiak hopes to leverage their technology to hone in on targets more effectively on the district-scale MPD project.
| | The Gate Discovery Provides The Model
| | Before Kodiak consolidated the area in 2018, the land package that comprises MPD consisted of a handful of separate projects.
The area had seen extensive drilling since the 1960s, with previous operators drilling 384 holes in 50,601 meters on smaller land packages.
| | Critically, while the area had shown mineralization from surface, most of the holes never tested targets 200 meters below surface.
With that treasure trove of data, Kodiak saw the potential to find more and higher-grade mineralization at depth at MPD.
| | And that’s just what they did: The approach taken at the Gate Zone helped Kodiak hit paydirt in 2020, when it announced a significant high-grade copper-gold discovery at the Gate target.

| | The best drill hole from the Gate target cut 535 meters of 0.49% copper and 0.29 g/t gold, including 282 meters of 0.70% copper and 0.49 g/t gold, which also includes 45.7 meters of 1.41% copper and 1.46 g/t gold.
| | Made in 2020, that result sent Kodiak Copper’s market cap soaring to above C$120 million after attracting Teck Resources to invest C$8 million for a 9.9% stake in the company.
| | Kodiak would use the resulting fund injection from Teck and other investors to outline a massive one-kilometer-long by 350-meter-wide by 900-meter-deep zone of mineralization at the Gate Zone in 2021 and 2022.
| | District-Scale Potential
| | The Gate Zone discovery proved that the system at MPD hosts high-grade zones.
That’s good news, since MPD as a whole is interpreted to host a district-scale, multi-centered porphyry system, as you can see from the map below.
To follow up on the district scale potential Kodiak spent 2023 drilling 18,562-meters on five targets: West, Man, South, Beyer and 1516.

| | Results from three of the five targets have already come in and they have demonstrated mineralization from surface to depth of almost a kilometer.
Moreover, the results have included multiple high-grade intercepts.
| | At the West Zone, mineralization has been traced for 650 meters along strike by 350 meters in width by 962 meters in depth. Results included a hole that cut 0.49% Cu over 254m and another with 1.17% copper over 39 meters.
At the Man Zone, mineralization has been traced to 995 meters depth, with the best hole hitting 116 meters of 0.34% copper from bedrock surface.
| | The highlight of the first two holes released from the South Zone returned 234 meters of 0.31% copper. This zone represents yet another potential porphyry center at MPD that is now interpreted to be significantly bigger than previously thought.
| | | Using AI To Home In
| | Adding a high-tech component to the Kodiak story is the recent agreement it signed with VRIFY to apply AI to help with target identification at MPD.
The tool is uniquely suited to the large datasets that come with mining exploration...and Kodiak has lots of data to use on MPD.
| | MPD’s past history of drilling (i.e., 384 holes in 50,601 meters), its history under Kodiak (over 75,000 meters of drilling), and its wealth of geophysical and geochemical data make it an ideal project for AI analysis.
| | In the weeks and months just ahead, AI will help Kodiak speed up target identification and quickly focus on the most promising of the many available targets.
| | Gearing Up For A Big 2024
| | So far Kodiak Copper has identified no less than 24 mineralized targets at MPD and has drill-tested only eight of those targets.
2024 promises to be another big year of discovery, aided by the AI software from VRIFY.
In a world that’s starving for new sources of copper, especially in low-risk jurisdictions like British Columbia, Kodiak Copper’s future looks bright...and timely.
| | As mentioned, the company traded at a C$120 million market cap after the big hit at the Gate Zone in 2020. Three years later, the company has shown that MPD may well contain a host of “Gate look-alikes” — and yet Kodiak is now trading near pre-discovery levels.
| | But time may be running short for those seeking to take advantage. The entire junior mining market is catching fire thanks to the breakouts in gold and silver, with attention also turning to copper plays.
So if you’re looking to profit from the inevitable big move in copper and looking for premier copper discovery plays, the time is now to start doing your homework on Kodiak Copper.
