In this conversation with Craig Parry of Inventa Capital, at the Rule Symposium for Natural Resources 2026 in Boca Raton, we discuss why he believes junior mining is only at the beginning of a major new cycle, why access to capital has changed dramatically, and why he compares the current setup to the early stages of the 2006–2007 resource bull market.
Craig also breaks down why copper is becoming one of the most important metals in the world, how data centers, electrification, and AI are adding pressure to an already tight supply picture, and why he believes copper can reach $30 per pound over the next 5 to 10 years. We also get into Vizsla Copper, the Palmer project in Alaska, Woodjam, the hunt for high-grade copper assets, and why he says the next year could be the most important in the company’s history.
