Taseko Provides Construction Update on Florence Copper Project
At the end of June, construction of the commercial production facility was over 90% complete, and the project remains on schedule for first copper cathode production before the end of this year. Over 900,000 project hours have been worked with no reportable injuries or environmental incidents on the project to date. Currently, there are approximately 330 construction and support personnel on site, down from the peak levels in the first quarter.
Stuart McDonald, President & CEO of Taseko, commented, 'The first 18 months of construction has gone exceptionally well, demonstrating the quality and experience of our on-site owner's team and contractors. Construction activities are advancing on plan and project areas will soon start the transition to commissioning. A few notable milestones have recently been achieved. In the wellfield, all the injection and recovery wells planned for the construction phase have now been drilled and completed. Drilling will recommence after plant commissioning to expand the current wellfield and allow for copper production to ramp up to the full 85 million pound per year plant capacity. Also, last week, a key component of the site infrastructure was completed with APS (the local utility) energizing the site 69kV electrical substation.'
'Operational readiness remains a key focus for site management. Hiring full-time staff, training, and developing operational workflows are all ongoing to ensure our team is well-positioned for commercial operations in just a few months. A detailed operating plan for the 2026 ramp up is also being developed and will be finalized after acidification of the wellfield commences in the fall.'
'Florence Copper will be the next major U.S. supplier of domestically produced copper cathode. The potential for 50% tariffs on copper imports into the United States has driven the Comex copper price to record levels in recent weeks. It's a great time to be bringing on a new U.S.-based copper mine, and a high Comex copper price premium would provide a further boost to Florence Copper's already strong project economics,' concluded Mr. McDonald.

1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades
Written by Andrew Walker at The Motley Fool Canada Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) saw its share price take a hit over the past year as oil prices fell from their 2024 highs. Investors who missed the bounce off the April low are wondering if CNQ stock is still undervalued and good to buy for a self-directed Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) focused on dividends and total returns. Canadian Natural Resources stock price CNRL trades near $43 per share at the time of writing. The stock is down from a high around $55 last year. It slipped as low as $35 during the market rout a few months ago. CNRL is a giant in the Canadian energy patch. The company owns a diversified portfolio of assets, including oil sands, conventional heavy oil, conventional light oil, offshore oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production and reserves. CNRL is typically the sole owner or majority owner of its businesses. This gives management the flexibility to quickly move capital around the portfolio to take advantage of positive shifts in commodity prices. In addition, CNRL's size and strong balance sheet enable the company to make large strategic acquisitions at opportune times to boost earnings and reserves. For example, the company spent US$6.5 billion in 2024 to buy the Canadian assets owned by Chevron. CNRL says its breakeven West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price is around US$40 to US$45 per barrel. At the time of writing, WTI trades near US$66 per barrel. That's down from more than US$80 last year, but still at a level where CNRL can generate decent margins. The large natural gas division provides a good hedge against lower oil prices. Natural gas prices are higher in 2025 than they were through most of the past two years. Oil market outlook Aside from brief spikes due to geopolitical events, the price of oil has trended lower over the past year. This is due to weak demand from China and concerns that tariffs imposed by the United States will lead to a recession in the American and global economies. At the same time, OPEC intends to increase supply to regain lost market share. Non-OPEC producers, including Canada and the United States, are also increasing production. As such, analysts widely expect oil prices to remain under pressure through the rest of 2025 and into 2026. That being said, a major geopolitical disruption in the Middle East or an announcement of a concrete trade deal between the U.S. and China could push oil prices higher as traders adjust demand and supply expectations. Dividends CNRL raised its dividend in each of the past 25 years. This is a great track record for a business that relies on commodity prices to determine its margins. Investors who buy CNQ stock at the current level can get a dividend yield of 5.5%. The company continues to generate solid earnings through increased production from acquisitions and the drilling program. This should support ongoing dividend growth. Time to buy? Near-term volatility is expected and the stock could easily retest the 2025 low if trade negotiations between the U.S. and its largest trading partners go off the rails. That being said, dividend investors might want to start nibbling on the stock at this price point and look to add to the position on further weakness. At the current yield, you get paid well to ride out some turbulence. The post 1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.

3 Canadian Tech Stocks to Buy Now for High Growth Potential
Written by Chris MacDonald at The Motley Fool Canada The Canadian tech sector is chock full of growth stocks long-term investors have done well owning, particularly during this most recent bull market following the Global Financial Crisis. Indeed, the tech sector continues to be on a roll, as investors look for any way to play the surge in adoption AI should bring to many top technology platforms. I'm going to highlight three such players I think could have massive upside on the TSX, and why now is the time to consider diving into these particular names. Without further ado, let's dive in! Open Text Open Text (TSX:OTEX) is among the leading Canadian software providers that's yet to see a significant uptick despite its strong fundamentals. This is a stock that's down over the past year, and down roughly 30% over the past five years. No doubt, some investors may be wondering why this stock made the list to begin with. For one, I think Open Text has among the most attractive valuations in its sector, with a price-earnings ratio of just 12 times. That's less than half the industry average, and one that's not pricing in a heck of a lot of growth moving forward. Now, the company did see revenue decline by around 13% on a year-over-year basis, so some of this discount is warranted. But for long-term investors who believe the company can return to growth, it may be worth picking up shares before this stock rebounds. That's the approach I think makes the most sense right now. Constellation Software Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) is the next top tech stock on my list. That's for good reason. The stock chart above tells a story that I think is really compelling. The company's long-term growth trajectory is truly world-class, and Constellation Software remains one of my top bullish picks in this sector for this reason. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results, and plenty will need to go right for the company to see the kind of continued growth many investors are expecting. That said, the company's long-term growth profile has been driven by an acquisition model that still holds. Constellation continues to acquire and integrate small and mid-cap tech companies into its portfolio, improving their ROI as the company grows. Until the tech market becomes less fragmented and owner-operators choose not to sell, this is a stock to simply hold and buy more on dips. Kinaxis As far as Canadian tech stocks are concerned, Kinaxis (TSX:KXS) is the latest addition to my watch list of stocks I think investors may want to have a closer look at. Kinaxis' upside really comes from the company's recent AI integrations, with its core platform seeing strong growth in recent quarters. The company's revenue is expected to grow at a double-digit pace in the coming years, with recent quarters seeing robust growth of a similar magnitude. Indeed, if the AI revolution is as big as everyone's saying and these are the results of the company's efforts thus far, I think there's more upside on the table long term. The company's valuation is much steeper than that of most in the Canadian tech sector. But with the sort of fundamental growth drivers Kinaxis has at play, there are few better options in the market right now in my view.
