MARKET COMMENTS

The year 2024 and the early months of 2025 presented notable challenges for the Marquest Mining Quebec 2024-I Super Flow-Through Limited Partnership. While gold and other precious metals held up reasonably well—benefiting from central bank diversification, geopolitical instability, and inflation hedging—key critical minerals such as lithium, uranium, and nickel struggled to attract sustained investor interest. Market weakness was exacerbated by global growth concerns and a temporary oversupply across several commodity markets.

Investor sentiment remained cautious amid ongoing geopolitical unrest in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as renewed uncertainty surrounding the U.S. government policy. Markets remain cautious regarding protectionist trade policies and tariff regimes under the second Trump administration, adding further volatility to the risk landscape.

Capital outflows from the junior resource sector persisted through much of 2024. However, as we advance through 2025, signs of stabilization have emerged. Broader commodity markets have rebounded meaningfully since early 2024 lows, with some commodity indices climbing over 10% from their troughs, supported by renewed optimism around AI-driven demand, electrification, and broader economic resilience.

Despite a difficult year, we remain optimistic about the long-term opportunity in Canada’s junior mining space. Demand for critical minerals continues to be underpinned by global shifts toward decarbonization, electrification, and supply chain reorientation. Canada’s resource base, political stability, and strong ESG credentials make it an increasingly attractive jurisdiction for capital and strategic partnerships. Government incentives—such as the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit and flow-through share structures— continue to support exploration financing. With many junior equities still trading at depressed valuations and improved momentum in commodity prices, we believe the sector is well positioned for recovery as the next phase of the commodity cycle unfolds.
