Kodiak Copper (TSXV:KDK) - Maiden Resource Reveals 300M Tons at $10B+ BC Copper Project

Interview with Christopher Taylor, Chairman, and Claudia Tornquist, President & CEO ,of Kodiak Copper Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/kodiak-copper-tsxvkdk-bc-porphyry-explorer-advances-from-discovery-to-resource-stage-in-2025-6573Recording date: 25th June 2025Kodiak Copper Corp (TSXV: KDK) has announced a significant milestone with its maiden mineral resource estimate for the MPD copper-gold project in British Columbia, marking the culmination of six years of systematic exploration. The resource encompasses four of seven identified mineralized zones, revealing 300 million tons of mineralization grading 0.42% copper equivalent for indicated resources and 0.33% for inferred resources.The scale of the discovery positions MPD among British Columbia's significant copper deposits. Founder and Chairman Christopher Taylor noted that using equivalent cutoff grades to nearby mines, the project contains "between 2 and 3 billion pounds of copper equivalent roughly, and that's worth more than $10 billion in the ground in resource." This substantial resource base provides the foundation for what could become a major mining operation in the region.Despite the impressive resource scale, Kodiak trades at approximately $50 million market capitalization, presenting what management views as a significant valuation disconnect. President and CEO Claudia Tornquist highlighted this opportunity, noting that comparable British Columbia copper companies with established resources "trade at 150 million, 200 million or more."The timing appears strategically advantageous given the global copper supply shortage. Tornquist emphasized that "the pipeline of projects, of exploration projects, development projects in the copper sector are at an all-time low," while demand accelerates from AI infrastructure and renewable energy transitions.Looking ahead, Kodiak expects to complete its full seven-zone resource estimate by year-end, with the remaining southern zones containing significant near-surface, high-grade mineralization. The company has secured funding for 5,500 meters of additional drilling, with results expected through autumn.Given the project's scale and characteristics, management anticipates eventual acquisition by a major mining company, as porphyry projects of this magnitude typically require major company involvement for development. The maiden resource provides the concrete numbers necessary for institutional evaluation and potential merger and acquisition discussions.View Kodiak Copper's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kodiak-copper-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
