The Casino Project is featured in Canada's Critical Minerals Project Showcase, a new publication from Natural Resources Canada highlighting advanced critical minerals projects across the country.

The Showcase will be used by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, senior officials, and provincial and territorial partners at upcoming events and trade missions to raise the profile of Canadian projects among investors, processors, manufacturers, and international partners.

In his forward, Minister Hodgson describes a new era of critical minerals development defined by speed, scale, and purpose. We're pleased to see Casino, one of Canada's largest undeveloped copper-gold projects, included among the opportunities Canada is presenting to the world.

Molybdenum rarely gets attention, but a new report from BMO Capital Markets makes the case that it should. Prices are up more than 50% this year, and the market is heading for a sixth consecutive annual deficit.

Part of the reason is structural: roughly 60% of global molybdenum is produced as a by-product of copper mining, so new supply faces the same constraints as copper.

Casino is known for its copper and gold, but it also hosts one of the largest molybdenum endowments in North America. With 572 million pounds of molybdenum in reserves, Casino holds the largest molybdenum reserve of any development-stage project in North America, and at planned production rates would roughly quadruple Canada's current molybdenum output.

Molybdenum is used across the energy system, from pipelines and refining to power generation, which is why BMO expects demand to keep growing. For Casino, it is one more reason the project sits among the most significant critical minerals opportunities in Canada's development pipeline.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity to reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools, and to continue learning from the experiences of Indigenous peoples and communities.

At Western Copper and Gold, we recognize that reconciliation requires ongoing listening, learning and relationship-building. We remain committed to engaging with Yukon First Nations with honesty, respect and care.

Our team is reflecting on what reconciliation means in our work, our relationships and our everyday actions, so that we can carry that understanding forward throughout the year.

A major step for Canada's investment competitiveness.

At this week's Canada Investment Summit, the federal government introduced the Productivity Mega Deduction, letting businesses immediately write off the full cost of most new capital investments. The measure lowers Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new investment to 6.4%, the lowest in the G7 and well below the OECD average of 19.0%.

For large-scale projects that Canada's “building big” agenda depends on, that’s a meaningful improvement in the investment case. Stronger after-tax returns help attract long-term investment in Canadian resources and infrastructure, and advance the country’s ambition to catalyze $1 trillion in new investment over the next five years.

This summer, we've been proud to welcome a steady stream of visitors to the Casino Project.

Showing the project in person is one of the best ways to appreciate what makes it stand out: significant scale, favourable topography, and a compact, efficient site layout.

Thank you to everyone who made the trip north, and to our team on the ground for making each visit a success.
