Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

2025-12-15 16:45:00 ET

Junior copper stocks are seeing significant support from the copper supply/demand story in 2025 as companies work to make the next big copper discovery.

Copper markets tightened in 2025 as demand for the red metal grew steadily and supply was impacted by significant disruptions.

The price was elevated throughout much of the year but experienced bouts of volatility as US trade policy threatened to trigger a recession in April, causing a rout in base metal markets.

In Q3 the price of copper surged to record highs as the Trump administration announced copper tariffs , offering few details beyond a 50 percent tariff on imports. However, copper prices later crashed on news that refined products would be exempt from the levies until 2027 and 2028.

Since then, markets have stabilized, and prices have gained momentum from weak supply as two of the world's largest mines, Freeport-McMoRan's (NYSE:FCX) Grasberg and Ivanhoe Mines' (TSX:IVN,OTC:IVPAF) Kamoa-Kakula, are operating well below maximum capacity.
