Sprott to Add Physical Copper Allocation to Its Copper Miners ETF (COPP)

The Addition of Physical Copper to the Sprott Copper Miners ETF (COPP) Will Make COPP the Only¹ ETF to Provide Investment Exposure to Physical Copper

TORONTO, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. today announced that, effective June 23, 2025, the Sprott Copper Miners ETF (COPP) will include an allocation to physical copper. This change will make COPP the only¹ ETF to provide exposure to physical copper and the only¹ ETF to provide pure-play² exposure to large-, mid- and small-cap copper miners.

The change will result from a modification to the Sprott Copper Miners ETF’s underlying index, the Nasdaq Sprott Copper Miners^TM Index (NSCOPP^TM). At its scheduled June semi-annual rebalance, effective at the market open on June 23, the index will add a 4.75% allocation to physical copper via the inclusion of the Sprott Physical Copper Trust, the world’s first and only physical copper investment fund.³ The revised NSCOPP^TM Index methodology is available here https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/Index/Overview/NSCOPP.

“Copper is essential in meeting the world’s growing energy needs, and there are currently limited ways investors are able to access the opportunity,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management LP. “We’re pleased to leverage Sprott’s specialized experience in metals and mining to add unprecedented access to physical copper alongside pure-play copper mining equities in our copper miners ETF.”

Shares of COPP will include the physical copper allocation as of the start of the trading day on June 23, 2025.
