*Disseminated on behalf of NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) Positions To Disrupt A Copper Market Filled With Demand (Potential Landmark Funding) July 23, 2025 Dear Readers, Ready to have your eyes opened? One under-the-radar mine developer has emerged as a significant contender in the global copper mining sector, driven by the redevelopment of its historic high-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-PGE assets in Botswana. As the world enters a phase of heightened volatility and strong structural demand for copper—amid challenges from tariffs, supply chain nationalization, and the green energy transition—companies like this one are gaining attention for their significant resource base, aggressive exploration, and recent strategic backing. With researchers recently sharing that building infrastructure across all 54 countries in Africa will require about one billion metric tons of copper, this little-known developer, with multiple mines in Botswana, is on the verge of grabbing Wall Street's full attention.
Based on its project pipeline and prospects in light of the dynamic "copper climate" of 2025, there's one explorer to consider for your watchlist: NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) (TSXV: NEXM) NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) is a mineral exploration and development company focused primarily on redeveloping its past-producing copper, nickel, cobalt, PGE mines in Botswana, specifically the Selebi and Selkirk projects. The company possesses mining leases, permits, updated NI 43-101 resource estimates, and an experienced team stewarding resource development, exploration, and project financing. Botswana: A Choice Jurisdiction NexMetals operates in Botswana, recognized as one of Africa's safest and most stable mining jurisdictions. Botswana's political stability, transparent regulatory environment, and strong support for foreign investment have contributed to NexMetals' ability to attract both private and multinational institutional capital. Project Portfolio The Selebi Mine
Resource Estimate:
Status: The mine holds a valid mining lease and is subject to near-term restart planning. It presents significant exploration upside, especially as ongoing geophysical programs potentially suggest that previously distinct mineralized bodies may be connected at depth, potentially expanding the resource base dramatically. The company is testing this through a drilling program now. Strategic Value: Selebi's high copper-equivalent and historic production underpins its restart viability. Modern survey and electromagnetic techniques are being used to identify further targets. The Selkirk Mine
Resource Estimate:
Exploration: a previous re-assay program of the historical core has returned grades up to 5.59% CuEq over 3.95 meters, and electromagnetic anomalies are being aggressively tested. Advancement: Metallurgical test work and infill drilling completed in 2025 are expected to support a future update to the mineral resource estimate. Recent Developments and Strategic Milestones Financial Backing and U.S. Support NexMetals announced in July 2025 that it had received a non-binding letter of interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for up to $150Mn in project financing, with a tenure of up to 15 years. This potential landmark funding, tied to the U.S. government's drive to secure critical metals supply chains, signals substantial confidence in NexMetals' assets and Botswana's jurisdictional stability. The interest from EXIM aligns with U.S. strategic policies under the China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP) to diversify and secure critical mineral supplies. Private Investment Earlier in 2025, the company attracted CA$46Mn in equity financing led by prominent mining financiers, further reinforcing NexMetals' perceived near-term growth prospects and production potential. Exploration Highlights Selebi Exploration: Ongoing drilling programs aim to demonstrate that the resource areas are connected at depth, expand tonnage, and improve mineralized continuity through modern geophysics and aggressive targeting. Selkirk Expansion: A surface drilling program is currently underway, aimed at expanding the resource and advancing metallurgical flowsheet development. In parallel, a targeted resampling program of historic drill core is ongoing to unlock additional resource growth and support resource reclassification efforts. The Copper Climate in 2025 Copper Price Environment Copper prices soared to all-time highs above $5/lb in March 2025, spurred by U.S.–China trade tensions and new tariffs on imported copper, before correcting to the $4.20–$4.70/lb range by mid-2025. At the time of writing, the price of copper was back over $5/lb. Goldman Sachs forecasts a global supply deficit for copper as robust electrification demand and infrastructure investment continue, especially from China and the U.S. Structural Factors Supply Chain Security: Tariff policy, predominantly from the U.S., is driving resource nationalism and "friend-shoring" of supply chains, favoring Western-focused projects in stable countries. Green Energy Transition: Copper is essential for electrification, renewable power, and EVs, underpinning robust long-term demand regardless of short-term price volatility. Project Scarcity: The pipeline of new, high-grade, permitted copper projects is thin, making projects like Selebi and Selkirk particularly attractive. NexMetals' Competitive Position High-Grade Resource Base Selebi and Selkirk offer grades and tonnages rarely matched by greenfield projects currently on the market: large, high-grade, and with significant exploration upside. Updated resource estimates, modern drilling, and metallurgical testing may increase project scale and economic returns further. Strategic Location and ESG Credentials Botswana's stable geopolitical backdrop, combined with NexMetals' adherence to rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) protocols, positions the company as a preferred supplier for global offtakers seeking traceable, responsibly produced copper and related metals. The company's mission incorporates responsible mining, continuous stakeholder engagement, and the goal of positive community impact. Capital Strength and U.S. Policy Alignment U.S. EXIM's interest is a strong validator and could catalyze further institutional investment and potentially facilitate project finance. U.S. support could align NexMetals with Western critical minerals supply aspirations, de-risking project development. Near-Term Potential Catalysts
Conclusion NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) (TSXV: NEXM) is well-positioned to capitalize on both near and long-term growth in copper demand. Its combination of high-grade brownfield assets, growing financial and geopolitical backing, sophisticated exploration programs, and in a low-risk jurisdiction gives it significant competitive advantage in today's copper climate. If the company successfully executes its resource expansion and mine refurbishment plans, NexMetals could become a key player in supplying the world's accelerating need for copper and allied critical minerals. The opening bell approaches. Watch for updates on (Nasdaq: NEXM) coming soon.
