Corcel Exploration

By

Investor Insight

With a seasoned technical team, backing from Inventa Capital, and a district-scale asset in Arizona, Corcel Exploration is positioned to unlock a significant US-based copper-gold system at a time of accelerating demand for energy transition metals.

Overview

Corcel Exploration (CSE:CRCL,OTCQB:CRLEF) is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company focused on copper and gold discoveries across North America, with a primary focus on Arizona’s Yuma King project. The company is leveraging a combination of historical data, modern geoscience and advanced technology to identify and expand near-surface and buried mineralized systems.

Yuma King project site

Corcel’s approach is centered on disciplined, data-driven exploration. The company’s 2025 work program includes its maiden 2,000-meter diamond drill program, IP surveys and hyperspectral mapping to test priority copper-gold skarn and porphyry targets around the Yuma King mine, Yuma King West and Three Musketeers zones. By validating and extending historical mineralization, Corcel aims to delineate a near-term resource base while unlocking the broader district-scale potential.

The company’s technical leadership team, with decades of discovery experience across the Americas, is supported by Inventa Capital, a proven incubator of successful resource ventures such as Vizsla Silver and Targa Exploration. This strategic partnership provides Corcel with corporate infrastructure, capital markets expertise and exploration discipline, giving it a competitive edge in executing its exploration plans efficiently and effectively.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship Yuma King Project (Arizona): District-scale, 3,200-hectare land package with 515 federal mining claims in the historic Ellsworth mining district.
  • High-grade Historical Production: 8,600 tons averaging 2.3 percent copper, 0.3 oz silver per ton, and 0.03 oz gold per ton from the past-producing Yuma mine.
  • Dual Mineralization System: Copper-gold skarn mineralization with potential for a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system.
  • Strong Recent Results: Rock samples grading up to 17.15 grams per ton gold and 11.6 percent copper, confirming widespread surface mineralization.
  • Advanced Drill-ready Targets: 1.6 km skarn corridor open along strike and down-dip; multiple untested anomalies from geophysics and soil sampling.
  • Experienced Leadership: Led by a technically strong management team with deep experience in discovery, development, and capital markets.
  • Strategic US Positioning: Located near infrastructure and in the same state as one of only three US copper smelters.

Key Project

Yuma King

The Yuma King copper-gold project covers a 3,200-hectare district-scale property in the historic Ellsworth mining district of west-central Arizona, approximately 150 km northwest of Phoenix. The property hosts the past-producing Yuma mine, where operations between 1940 and 1963 yielded high-grade copper and gold ore.

Yuma King property overview

Corcel has defined three primary target zones within the project: the Yuma King Mine zone, hosting near-surface and down-dip skarn mineralization open along a 1.6 km corridor; Yuma King West, characterized by high-grade gold-copper rock samples and coincident copper-gold-molybdenum soil anomalies; and the Three Musketeers area, marked by strong magnetic destruction and soil anomalies indicative of a potential upper porphyry environment.

Exploration Targets and Results

Skarn and Replacement Mineralization: Copper-gold skarn zones with oxide and sulfide mineralization remain open in multiple directions. Historical drilling intersected intervals such as 45.4 m grading 0.78 percent copper, 0.53 grams per ton (g/t) gold, and 6.3 g/t silver.

Drilling at Yuma King in 2006

Porphyry Potential: Geological and geochemical data indicate a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system, with prior holes intersecting up to 395 ft of 753 parts per million (ppm) copper and 184 ppm molybdenum. Magnetite destructive alteration was located in the Three Musketeers area and is associated with strong gold and copper in soils and rocks, indicating the potential upper levels of a porphyry system.

Surface Sampling: 2,263 soil and 303 rock chip samples have defined 1.2 km-long copper-gold-molybdenum anomalies, with rock assays up to 17.15 g/t gold and 11.6 percent copper, identifying multiple new high-priority zones.

Untested Targets: The Three Musketeers and Yuma King West zones host strong magnetic features and soil anomalies under shallow cover, indicating potential extensions of the mineralized system.

2025 Program: Phase 1 drilling (2,000 m) and 8.5 km of IP surveys are planned to test these targets, marking the first comprehensive, data-integrated exploration in the district in over 70 years

World Bank: Oil Glut to Drive Commodities Prices to Six Year Low

By

Global commodities prices are on track to fall to their lowest level in six years by 2026, as weaker demand, a widening oil surplus and policy uncertainty continue to weigh on markets, according to the World Bank.

In 2025, the oil glut is projected to expand 65 percent above its last peak in 2020 as electric and hybrid vehicles reduce fuel consumption and oil demand flattens in China, as per the organization’s latest Commodity Markets Outlook.

The World Bank sees global energy prices falling sharply as a result.

Brent crude is forecast to slide from an average of US$68 per barrel in 2025 to US$60 in 2026, marking the lowest level in five years. Overall, energy prices are seen dropping by 12 percent this year and an additional 10 percent next year.

Despite the declines, commodities prices remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels. The World Bank estimates 2025 prices will still average 23 percent higher than in 2019, and 2026 levels about 14 percent above pre-COVID benchmarks, reflecting structural shifts such as climate impact, supply chain realignment and new industrial demand.

Food markets are also showing signs of easing. Global food prices are forecast to fall in 2025 and 2026, aided by improved harvests and lower shipping costs. However, fertilizer costs are expected to surge this year before easing in 2026, driven by high input prices and trade restrictions that could strain farm profitability and threaten crop yields.

Precious metals, by contrast, are defying the broader trend.

Gold and silver prices have reached record highs in 2025, primarily buoyed by central bank purchases, investor demand for safe-haven assets and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

The gold price is expected to rise 42 percent this year and another 5 percent in 2026, nearly doubling its 2015 to 2019 average. Meanwhile, silver is projected to increase 34 percent this year and 8 percent next year.

While the downturn in energy prices, as well as lower prices for commodities like wheat and rice, is providing some relief to inflation-hit economies, the World Bank warns the decline may be temporary.

“Commodity markets are helping to stabilize the global economy,” said Indermit Gill, the World Bank Group’s chief economist and senior vice president for development economics, in a Wednesday (October 29) release. “Falling energy prices have contributed to the decline in global consumer-price inflation. But this respite will not last. Governments should use it to get their fiscal house in order, make economies business-ready, and accelerate trade and investment.”

The report also notes that the commodities outlook remains vulnerable to shifting global conditions. Prolonged trade disputes, sluggish economic growth or an unexpected surge in OPEC+ oil supply could drag prices further down. Conversely, heightened geopolitical tensions, new sanctions or severe climate disruptions could drive them back up.

Beyond short-term price dynamics, the report’s ‘special focus’ section for this year examines whether renewed global interest in managing supply and demand through commodities pacts could stabilize markets.

Drawing on a century of experience with international commodities agreements (ICAs), the World Bank found that most efforts like this ultimately failed. In the 20th century, producer and consumer nations attempted to stabilize prices through mechanisms involving inventory controls, trade quotas and price-setting schemes for commodities.

While some early efforts achieved temporary price stability, most collapsed due to weak coordination and changing demand patterns. Even the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) — the longest-lasting such arrangement — has faced increasing challenges from new energy sources and shifting consumer behavior.

“OPEC’s longevity stands out among other ICAs,” the report states, noting that its survival has depended on its ability to adjust production quotas, expand alliances through OPEC+ and engage with consumer nations through dialogue.

Still, the World Bank cautions that OPEC faces growing headwinds from the global transition toward cleaner energy, which could usher in a period of stagnant or declining oil demand.
