Q: It appears as if there could be a supply shortfall in copper in 2026 and with critical minerals being in demand do you see XETM as a way to invest in both copper and critical minerals. On the other hand is there stocks that would be a better copper play and other stocks that would be better in the critical mineral area than XETM.

Thanks
