#EnergyTransition #CriticalMinerals
Copper is the primary conductor in the worldās electricalĀ infrastructure and plays a key role in the energy transition.Ā
So weāre developing one of the most significant undeveloped #copper deposits in the world - right in the heart of the Copper Triangle in the US.
Weāve already spent $2 BILLION on this project.
Thatās not pocket change. Thatās dedication.

The world needs more copper than ever beforeāand weāre committed to meeting this demand responsibly and sustainably.
At CESCO Weekās World Copper Summit, our leaders shared how weāre driving the future of copper by:
š¹ Partnering in Latin America through Nuevo Cobre & La Granja.
š¹ Securing US supply with @resolutioncu.
š¹ Unlocking new resources with Nutonā¢, our breakthrough leaching technology.
āFundamentally the world is on a journey towards electrifying ā¦ energy security is going up on the priority list and all of those things need more copper,ā Katie Jackon, our Chief Executive, Copper, said.
By investing in growth and research and development, weāre helping secure the copper that powers our everyday lives.
