Oil fueled the 20th century. Copper will fuel the 21st. As the world transitions from fossil fuels to electrification, copper is emerging as the most indispensable resource on the planet.

Every renewable power plant, transmission grid, and electric vehicle depends on vast amounts of copper. A typical EV uses four times more copper than a combustion engine car. A wind farm requires 3–4 tons of copper per megawatt of capacity. As governments push toward net-zero targets, demand for copper is set to skyrocket.

But supply is constrained. New discoveries are scarce, permitting timelines are long, and existing mines are aging. Analysts project a 6–8 million tonne copper supply gap by 2035 — a shortfall that will drive prices higher.

For investors, this creates an opportunity reminiscent of the early oil booms: exposure to a commodity with structural demand growth, limited supply, and global strategic importance.

Through Minestarters, token holders gain diversified exposure to copper projects across Africa, South America, and Asia. Instead of being locked into a single explorer or producer, MST spreads the risk and maximizes the chance of capturing the next major copper discovery.

Copper is no longer just a commodity — it is the lifeblood of electrification. And Minestarters makes it investable at the earliest stage.
