The Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (COPJ) focuses on small and mid-sized companies globally engaged in the copper lifecycle, including exploration, development, and production. To qualify for inclusion, constituents must derive at least 50% of their revenue or assets from the copper industry. The fund typically maintains a concentrated portfolio of 25 to 45 holdings and invests at least 80% of its assets in its underlying index.
Junior miners play a critical role in the supply chain by identifying new deposits, though they often face higher capital intensity and geological risks compared to established majors. Copper is a primary industrial metal essential for electrical infrastructure, and its demand is increasingly driven by the global transition toward renewable energy systems and electric vehicle manufacturing.
