2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Green Bridge Metals Corp. (GRBM:CSE; GBMCF:OTC; J48:FWB) reported initial assay results from its Phase 1 diamond drill program at Titac South, located within the company's South Contact District in northeastern Minnesota.

The company completed six diamond core drill holes in the Phase 1 program at Titac South. According to the announcement, assay results from the first three holes confirmed broad intervals of copper mineralization associated with the Oxide Ultramafic Intrusions (OUI). Assays from the remaining three holes, including a step-out hole targeting a previously untested geophysical anomaly, remain pending.

Initial results from the first three holes indicated the presence of copper, titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and platinum group elements within the OUI. Green Bridge reported that drill hole TS26-005 returned 152 meters grading 0.31% copper, 13.7% titanium dioxide, and 0.15% vanadium pentoxide. Drill hole TS26-003 returned 190 meters grading 0.30% copper, 11.4% titanium dioxide, and 0.13% vanadium pentoxide, including 14 meters grading 0.48% copper, 13.8% titanium dioxide, and 0.13% vanadium pentoxide. Drill hole TS26-002a returned 54 meters grading 0.20% copper, 9.3% titanium dioxide, and 0.10% vanadium pentoxide.

Green Bridge stated that all six holes completed in the Phase 1 Titac South program intersected observable sulphide mineralization  over broad downhole intervals within the OUI.

David Suda, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated in the news release, "We have completed the full six-hole program at Titac and sulphide mineralization has been observed in core from every drill hole to date." He added that, "The broad intervals of copper mineralization within the Oxide Ultramafic Intrusion support our geological model and suggest that mineralization may potentially extend beyond the currently tested area."

The Titac property forms part of the company's South Contact Zone Project in the Duluth Complex of northeastern Minnesota. Green Bridge noted that the project hosts an inferred mineral resource estimate at Titac South of 46.6 million tonnes grading 15% titanium dioxide, as outlined in a National Instrument 43-101 technical report with an effective date of Sept. 18, 2024.

Copper Market Conditions and Data Center Demand

Reuters columnist Andy Home reported on May 28 that the copper market had entered "a state of nervous anticipation" ahead of a U.S. decision regarding potential tariffs on refined copper imports expected by the end of June. According to Reuters, a widening premium between CME copper contracts and London Metal Exchange pricing had encouraged additional shipments of copper into the United States, reducing availability in other markets.

Reuters reported that U.S. refined copper imports reached 533,000 tons during the first quarter of 2026, more than double the level recorded a year earlier, citing data from the World Bureau of Metal Statistics. The report also stated that CME copper inventories totaled 577,385 tons, representing 44% of global exchange inventories, while additional supplies had been moved to U.S. ports. Home wrote that the United States had "over the last year or so built up its own strategic copper reserve thanks to the on-again, off-again threat of tariffs."

The Reuters report further noted that the U.S. copper import dependency rate had increased to 57% from 45% in 2024, according to data from the United States Geological Survey. Reuters stated that the objective of potential tariffs had been to "reinvigorate U.S. production capacity," while noting that the country currently operated two primary copper smelters.

Separately, Grand View Research estimated the global copper-in-data-centers market at US$1.6 billion in 2025 and projected growth from US$1.8 billion in 2026 to US$4.6 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of 14.4%. The firm reported that North America accounted for 41.4% of market revenue in 2025.

Grand View Research stated that demand had been supported by "the rapid expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centers, increasing deployment of AI-focused computing infrastructure, and rising demand for high-performance cloud services globally." The report also cited "technological advancements in hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-density server architecture" as factors influencing market growth.

According to the report, copper played "a critical role in enabling energy-efficient electrical transmission and thermal management systems within data centers due to its high conductivity, recyclability, and durability." Grand View Research also stated that growing adoption of liquid cooling systems, advanced thermal management infrastructure, and edge computing facilities had continued to increase demand for copper-intensive electrical and networking systems. The firm reported that power infrastructure represented 47.3% of market revenue in 2025, while the cooling systems segment was projected to expand at a 16.3% compound annual growth rate during the forecast period.

Separately, Chen Lin of What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? wrote on May 28 that copper continued to present "the strongest setup" among the metals he follows. Lin stated, "I am mostly in the copper future as it has the strongest setup," while adding that he had not yet heard of copper production declines resulting from sulfuric acid shortages. He also commented that summer could be a "boring period" as many traders followed a "sell in May and walk away" strategy.

Third-Party Coverage Highlights Drilling Program and Critical Minerals Exposure

¹On February 4, John Newell of John Newell & Associates discussed Green Bridge Metals in a technical analysis focused on U.S. critical minerals development. Newell wrote that the company was assembling a North American portfolio targeting copper, nickel, titanium, vanadium, and other critical minerals, with a strategy centered on advancing projects supported by existing infrastructure and historical geological datasets.

Referring to the company's Minnesota assets, Newell stated that Green Bridge was "designed for exactly this kind of moment" as interest in domestic critical mineral supply chains increased. He also highlighted the start of drilling at Titac South, writing that the company had "now commenced diamond core drilling at the Titac South, targeting copper mineralization associated with the same intrusive package that already hosts a titanium dioxide resource." Newell noted that the Phase 1 program consisted of six diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,800 meters. In his conclusion, he maintained a "Speculative Buy" rating on the company and identified a technical resistance level near CA$0.40.

In a March 26 contributed opinion, Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. revisited Green Bridge Metals after the company was added to the firm's coverage list following participation in a November financing completed at CA$0.09 per unit with a CA$0.12 half-warrant and CA$0.12 per unit with a CA$0.15 half-warrant. Ballanger noted that the shares had subsequently closed at CA$0.23 and wrote, "I really like this company and see a bright future for it."

Ballanger also discussed observations from the company's drilling program, noting that "the presence of ilmenite in core samples increases the likelihood of a significant titanium component, which is important." He described titanium as a silver-white transition metal that is as strong as steel while being nearly 45% lighter. According to Ballanger, titanium is valued for its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and is used in applications including jet engines, airframes, spacecraft, dental implants, joint replacements, surgical instruments, desalination facilities, chemical processing equipment, and marine applications.

According to an April 27 update from Ballanger, Green Bridge Metals was among the junior copper companies held in the firm's portfolios. Ballanger wrote that "there is no bullish case that ever holds a candle against copper when it comes to the certainty of outcome" and discussed supply challenges facing the copper market, including mine closures, production disruptions, and declining output from major operations.

In the same report, Ballanger stated that governments would be "forced to eliminate roadblocks that delay new exploration and development, which will favor the junior copper group far more than their senior counterparts." He wrote that this was "one of the main reasons why juniors like ... Green Bridge Metals Corp. ... are held in the GGMA portfolios with such overweight positioning." Ballanger also stated that "the senior miners are too busy with their existing operations to focus on greenfield exploration programs, which is why most, if not all, of the major new copper discoveries are made by the juniors."

Additional Exploration Targets Identified Through Geophysical Modeling

Green Bridge stated that the 2026 drilling program was designed to test the distribution of copper mineralization within the known titanium resource at Titac South and evaluate the effectiveness of 3D VTEM inversion as a targeting tool.

According to the company, 3D inversion modeling refined preliminary VTEM results released in May 2025 and identified a number of previously unrecognized anomalies. Several targets were reported to exhibit coincident magnetic highs and conductive responses consistent with the geophysical signature of known mineralized OUIs.

The Phase 1 drill program consisted of a systematic six-hole fence across Titac South, designed to verify and evaluate the presence, distribution and continuity of copper mineralization within and outside the OUI.

The company also reported that a full 3D inversion of VTEM airborne geophysical data was recently completed, improving the resolution of conductive and magnetic responses across the Titac property. The inversion modeling identified four to five additional untested anomalies displaying coincident conductive and magnetic signatures consistent with known mineralized Oxide Ultramafic Intrusions at Titac South and Titac North. 

Green Bridge stated that drilling completed to date demonstrated alignment between the geophysical targets and observed sulphide mineralization. Assay results from the final three drill holes, including a step-out hole testing a previously untested geophysical anomaly, remain pending.
