Rio Tinto also holds 55% of Resolution Copper in Arizona and 70% of the Winu copper-gold project in Western Australia. Resolution completed its federal land exchange in March 2026 but remains a development project. Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited have separate share registers within the group’s dual-listed structure.

Southern Copper Corporation operates copper mines, smelters and refineries in Peru and Mexico and is controlled indirectly by Grupo México. Its principal operations include Buenavista and La Caridad in Mexico and Toquepala and Cuajone in Peru. The mines also produce molybdenum, silver and zinc.

The company is developing Tía María in Peru and has a wider portfolio of expansion and development projects. Its multi-year investment program is a spending plan; individual projects have separate construction schedules, permits and funding requirements.

Zijin Mining Group Company Limited is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai and produces copper, gold and other metals in China and overseas. Its copper portfolio includes Julong in China, Serbian operations and a 39.6% direct interest in the Kamoa-Kakula joint venture in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Zijin also owns shares in Ivanhoe Mines, another Kamoa-Kakula partner, creating additional indirect economic exposure. The group combines mine development with smelting and refining, while gold, zinc and lithium provide exposure beyond copper.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. is a US-listed copper producer with mines in the United States, Peru, Chile and Indonesia. Its portfolio includes Morenci, Cerro Verde, El Abra and the Grasberg minerals district, with gold and molybdenum contributing alongside copper.

Freeport operates mines, processing plants and smelting facilities and is expanding leaching across its Americas operations. In Indonesia, underground mine performance and the ramp-up of downstream facilities affect copper and gold sales. Proposed changes to the long-term operating rights and ownership of PT Freeport Indonesia remain distinct from the company’s current interest.

Glencore plc combines mining and metals processing with a global commodity marketing business. Its copper interests include operations and joint ventures in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chile and Peru, alongside development projects such as El Pachón in Argentina. Coal, zinc and nickel also contribute to group earnings.

Glencore’s Australian copper smelting activities are separate from the Mount Isa underground copper mines, which closed in July 2025. The group completed the sale of Kidd in Canada in June 2026. Its copper growth plans include projects that have not yet entered production.

Vale S.A. is a Brazilian mining group whose largest business is iron ore. Its copper exposure sits within Vale Base Metals, owned 90% by Vale and 10% by Manara Minerals. The copper portfolio includes Salobo and Sossego in Brazil, together with copper produced by Canadian operations.

Salobo is an iron oxide copper-gold deposit in the Carajás region. Vale Base Metals is pursuing expansions and additional Brazilian deposits, while Hu’u in Indonesia is a separate development opportunity.

Anglo American plc is a mining group with copper interests in Chile and Peru and a portfolio being reshaped around copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients. Its copper assets include Los Bronces, El Soldado, Quellaveco and its interest in the Collahuasi joint venture.

Anglo American and Teck agreed a merger in September 2025 that remains subject to outstanding conditions. Until completion, the companies remain separate listed entities and Anglo American does not own Teck’s mines. Portfolio disposals and the development of the Woodsmith fertilizer project also affect the group beyond copper.

Antofagasta plc is a London-listed copper producer operating in Chile through interests in Los Pelambres, Centinela, Antucoya and Zaldívar. Its mines also produce gold and molybdenum, and the group owns a Chilean transport business.

The company is expanding Centinela with a second concentrator, with commissioning expected in 2027, and is investing in infrastructure and longer-term growth at Los Pelambres. These projects add to operating mines but their planned capacity is separate from current production. Antofagasta also holds development interests outside Chile, including Twin Metals in the United States.

CMOC Group Limited is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai and produces copper and cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo through Tenke Fungurume and Kisanfu. CMOC holds 80% of Tenke Fungurume and 71.25% of Kisanfu.

The group also produces molybdenum and tungsten in China and niobium and phosphate products in Brazil, and owns the IXM metals trading business. Its acquisition of four Brazilian gold operations completed in January 2026, expanding its exposure beyond copper and cobalt.

Teck Resources Limited is a Canadian copper and zinc producer. Its copper interests include Highland Valley Copper in Canada, Quebrada Blanca and Carmen de Andacollo in Chile, and Antamina in Peru. Red Dog and Trail provide substantial zinc exposure.

Teck agreed in September 2025 to merge with Anglo American, subject to outstanding conditions. The merger has not made Anglo American’s operations part of Teck’s current portfolio. The selected Toronto ticker represents Class B subordinate-voting shares; Teck also has Class A common shares, while the New York listing represents the cross-listed Class B shares.

First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is a Canadian copper producer with operating mines at Kansanshi and Sentinel in Zambia and Guelb Moghrein in Mauritania. Enterprise in Zambia adds nickel exposure. The Kansanshi S3 expansion entered commercial production in December 2025.

Cobre Panamá stopped mining in 2023. Authorized processing of existing stockpiles began in 2026, but this does not constitute approval to restart mining. First Quantum sold Çayeli in Türkiye and Cobre Las Cruces in Spain during the second quarter of 2026. Its development portfolio includes Taca Taca in Argentina and La Granja and Haquira in Peru.

Lundin Mining Corporation is a Canadian copper producer with operations in Chile and Brazil. It holds 80% of Candelaria, 75% of Caserones and all of Chapada, with gold and molybdenum contributing alongside copper.

Its development portfolio includes a 50% interest in Vicuña with BHP and a 31% interest in Los Helados. The company’s recent disposals, including Eagle in January 2026, have increased its focus on South American copper. Production forecasts remain sensitive to operating conditions, including the severe winter weather reported in Chile in August 2026.

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is a Polish copper and silver producer listed in Warsaw. It operates underground mines and smelting and refining facilities in Poland and holds 55% of the Sierra Gorda copper-molybdenum mine in Chile. Its international portfolio also includes North American assets.

KGHM combines mining with downstream metal production, so group performance reflects ore grades, recovery, smelting conditions and silver prices as well as copper. Expansion work at Sierra Gorda is a joint-venture project; gross mine capacity and KGHM’s ownership-weighted share are different measures.

Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. is a Japanese mining, smelting and materials company listed in Tokyo. Its copper exposure includes minority interests in Morenci, Cerro Verde, Quebrada Blanca, Candelaria and Northparkes, together with Japanese smelting and refining operations.

The company acquired a 30% interest in Rio Tinto’s Winu copper-gold development project in October 2025. Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corporation are separate listed companies. Gold, nickel and advanced materials also contribute to the business.

Boliden AB is a Swedish mining and smelting company producing copper, zinc and other metals. Its copper exposure includes mines such as Aitik and Kevitsa and smelting and recycling operations, while zinc and other products provide substantial diversification.

Boliden agreed in August 2026 to acquire a 64.68% controlling stake in Nexa Resources. Completion is expected in the first quarter of 2027 and remains subject to conditions. Nexa’s operations are therefore prospective additions rather than part of Boliden’s current operating portfolio.

Jiangxi Copper Company Limited is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai. It operates copper mines, smelting, refining and fabrication businesses in China, including Dexing and Guixi, and processes substantial volumes of purchased material as well as its own mine output.

The group completed its acquisition of SolGold in March 2026, adding the Cascabel copper-gold development project in Ecuador. Jiangxi Copper Group is the listed company’s controlling parent. Its investment in First Quantum is an equity holding rather than direct ownership of First Quantum’s mines.

MMG Limited is a Hong Kong-listed base-metals producer controlled by China Minmetals. Its copper assets include a 62.5% interest in Las Bambas in Peru, Kinsevere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a 55% interest in Khoemacau in Botswana. Its Australian operations add zinc and lead exposure.

MMG is expanding Khoemacau, with additional planned capacity distinct from present output. The agreed acquisition of Anglo American’s Nickel Brazil business remains a separate transaction subject to outstanding approvals.

Hudbay Minerals Inc. is a Canadian copper and gold producer with operations in Peru and Canada. Its portfolio includes Constancia, Copper Mountain and the Snow Lake operations, with gold contributing materially alongside copper.

Hudbay owns all of Copper Mountain and 70% of the Copper World development joint venture in Arizona, where Mitsubishi holds the remaining 30%. Its US development portfolio also includes Cactus. These projects are separate from current producing mines and require further development spending before contributing commercial copper output.

Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. is a Canadian mining company with a 39.6% interest in the Kamoa-Kakula copper complex in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kamoa-Kakula is a joint venture, so its full mine output is larger than Ivanhoe’s attributable share.

Ivanhoe’s portfolio also includes Kipushi in the DRC and Platreef in South Africa, adding zinc, platinum-group metals, nickel and other products. Platreef produced first concentrate in November 2025. Mine recovery, smelter ramp-up and development spending across these assets affect the company’s results alongside copper prices.

Aurubis AG is a German metals processor that smelts copper concentrates and recycles metal-bearing materials. It produces refined copper and other metals and manufactures copper products, with operations in Europe and the United States. It does not own copper mines.

Earnings depend on processing terms, recycling margins, metal recovery, product premiums and operating costs. Aurubis is ramping up its Richmond recycling plant in the United States and commissioning additional capacity at Pirdop in Bulgaria. These operating transitions can affect costs and output independently of the copper price.

Capstone Copper Corp. produces copper in Chile, Mexico and the United States. Its operating portfolio comprises Mantoverde, Mantos Blancos, Cozamin and Pinto Valley. Capstone holds 70% of Mantoverde and all of the other three operations.

Its principal development project is Santo Domingo in Chile, in which it holds 75%. Santo Domingo remains subject to a final investment decision. Capstone’s growth program combines optimization of operating mines with a separate development project; projected new capacity is not current production.

Sandfire Resources Limited is an Australian-listed copper producer operating MATSA in Spain and Motheo in Botswana. MATSA also produces zinc and lead, while Motheo produces copper concentrate. DeGrussa in Western Australia has ceased production.

Sandfire’s development exposure includes Black Butte in Montana through its controlling interest in Sandfire Resources America. Black Butte is permitted but undeveloped. The company also has an exclusive right relating to an 80% acquisition of Kalkaroo in South Australia; that right should be distinguished from a completed asset acquisition.

Hindustan Copper Limited is an Indian government-controlled company whose current business centers on copper mining and beneficiation. Its operations include Malanjkhand in Madhya Pradesh, Khetri in Rajasthan and the Indian Copper Complex in Jharkhand. Copper concentrate is its principal product.

The company is expanding mine capacity and developing underground operations. Historical smelting and refining facilities form part of its industrial footprint, but they should not be treated as evidence of current integrated copper-metal production. Mine-development targets are separate from achieved ore output.

NGEx Minerals Ltd. is a Canadian explorer focused on Lunahuasi in Argentina and its majority interest in Los Helados in Chile. Lunahuasi contains high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization associated with an epithermal system, while Los Helados is a large porphyry copper-gold deposit.

The company is drilling and evaluating these projects and has no commercial mine production. In August 2026 it proposed spinning out the Valle Ancho project into a separate company. That transaction remains distinct from the exploration progress at Lunahuasi and Los Helados.

Ero Copper Corp. is a Canadian-listed copper and gold producer operating in Brazil. Its copper businesses are the Caraíba operations in Bahia and Tucumã in Pará, while Xavantina is a separate gold operation in Mato Grosso.

Ero is also advancing Furnas under an agreement to earn a 60% interest from Vale Base Metals. The earn-in is subject to spending and other contractual requirements. Production ramp-up and underground development at its operating assets affect copper output, while Xavantina provides a distinct source of gold revenue.

Trekor Metals Limited, formerly Taseko Mines, is a North American copper producer. It operates Gibraltar in British Columbia and is ramping up Florence Copper in Arizona, where in-situ recovery and solvent extraction/electrowinning produce copper cathode.

The development portfolio includes Yellowhead and New Prosperity in British Columbia and the Aley niobium project. These assets are separate from current copper production. The company trades as TKO in Toronto and London and TGB on NYSE American.

Atalaya Mining Copper, S.A. is a London-listed copper producer operating Proyecto Riotinto in southwestern Spain. It mines and processes sulfide ore to produce copper concentrate and is advancing additional Spanish deposits and processing technology.

Its growth portfolio includes Proyecto Masa Valverde and other resources around Riotinto, while Proyecto Touro is a separate development project in Galicia. Expansion studies, permits and investment decisions determine when these projects can add production. The operating Riotinto business remains distinct from future project capacity.

Ivanhoe Electric Inc. is a US mineral explorer and developer advancing Santa Cruz in Arizona and using its Typhoon geophysical technology to identify additional deposits. Santa Cruz has a pre-feasibility study for an underground copper mine with a leaching and cathode-production process.

The company also participates in exploration ventures outside the United States. Santa Cruz has not entered commercial production. Its development schedule depends on permits, financing and a construction decision; preliminary export-credit indications are not binding project-finance commitments.

Solaris Resources Inc. is a copper-gold developer advancing the Warintza project in southeastern Ecuador. The project has a pre-feasibility study and remains in permitting and development rather than commercial production.

Warintza’s proposed mine plan and capital cost are study estimates. Building the project will require further approvals, funding and an investment decision. Financing agreements signed to support development have conditions and should be distinguished from a fully funded construction package.

Imperial Metals Corporation is a TSX-listed copper producer with operations in British Columbia, Canada. The company holds a 30% joint-venture interest in the Red Chris copper-gold mine in northwest BC, operated by 70% partner Newmont Corporation, and wholly owns the Mount Polley copper-gold mine. Imperial also holds the Huckleberry copper mine on care and maintenance.

Faraday Copper Corp. is a Canadian copper developer focused on Copper Creek in Arizona. It is evaluating a project that combines open-pit and underground development opportunities and has no commercial mine production.

Faraday agreed in July 2026 to acquire BHP’s San Manuel property, and shareholders subsequently approved the related share issuance. Completion remains a separate transaction milestone. San Manuel could add regional infrastructure and development options, but neither the agreement nor shareholder approval establishes new copper production.

FireFly Metals Limited is an Australian-listed copper-gold developer advancing Green Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The project includes the former Ming underground mine and associated infrastructure.

The company is drilling and updating the resource as part of evaluating a future restart and expansion. Green Bay is not currently a commercial producing mine, and a mineral resource estimate does not establish an economic reserve or a funded mine plan. Development studies and an investment decision will determine the restart scope.

Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria is a Swedish company working to reopen the Viscaria copper mine near Kiruna. Its shares trade on Nasdaq Stockholm. The project is in development, with mine and processing infrastructure work advancing ahead of planned production.

The company reported no net sales for the second quarter of 2026 and targets a restart in 2027. That target is a future operating milestone, not evidence of present commercial production. Construction progress, funding and commissioning will determine the eventual ramp-up.

Amerigo Resources Ltd. operates Minera Valle Central in Chile, recovering copper and molybdenum from fresh and historical tailings from Codelco’s El Teniente mine. Amerigo owns the processing business, not El Teniente.

MVC operates under long-term agreements with Codelco. Its earnings depend on metal prices, tailings availability and grades, recovery rates, processing costs and contractual payments. The company provides producing copper exposure through tailings recovery rather than conventional ownership and mining of an orebody.

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. owns the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum project in southwest Alaska. Pebble is undeveloped and has no commercial production.

A US Environmental Protection Agency determination issued in 2023 restricts the disposal of mine waste in the Pebble deposit area and prevents the proposed development from proceeding under that plan. Northern Dynasty is challenging the decision in court. The project’s large mineral resource does not constitute an authorized, financed or operating mine.

Marimaca Copper Corp. is a copper developer advancing the Marimaca Oxide Deposit in Chile’s Antofagasta region. Its development plan uses leaching and solvent extraction/electrowinning to produce copper cathode.

The project has a definitive feasibility study and environmental approval, while the company works toward a final investment decision and construction funding. Marimaca also explores nearby targets. It has no current commercial mine production, and the study’s planned output remains a development estimate.

ATEX Resources Inc. is a Canadian copper-gold explorer that owns the Valeriano project in Chile. Valeriano contains a large porphyry system, and the company is drilling to improve its geological understanding and mineral resource estimate.

The project is at the exploration and resource-definition stage, with no commercial production. Reported indicated and inferred mineral resources are distinct from mineable reserves and do not establish a completed feasibility study or construction decision.

Trilogy Metals Inc. holds a 50% interest in Ambler Metals, a joint venture with South32 that owns the Arctic and Bornite projects in Alaska. Arctic is a polymetallic development project, while Bornite provides additional copper exploration and development exposure.

The projects have no commercial production and depend on access infrastructure, permits, financing and investment decisions. Trilogy signed definitive agreements for a strategic US government equity investment in August 2026, with closing expected in September. Signing the agreements does not establish that the investment has closed.

Western Copper and Gold Corporation is a Canadian developer that owns the Casino copper-gold project in Yukon through its subsidiary. Casino has a feasibility study and is progressing through environmental assessment and project engineering.

Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi Materials are investors in Western Copper and Gold; those shareholdings are distinct from direct ownership of the Casino project. Casino has no commercial production. Its development requires approvals, financing, infrastructure and a final investment decision.

AIC Mines Limited is an Australian copper-gold producer operating the Eloise underground mine and processing plant in Queensland. It is developing the nearby Jericho deposit to supply additional ore to the expanded Eloise plant.

Development ore from Jericho has already been processed, including a 12,000-tonne batch reported by the company. This early ore contribution is separate from completion of the full expansion and commissioning program. AIC’s current production classification rests on Eloise, while Jericho adds a development and ramp-up component.

Regulus Resources Inc. is a Canadian explorer advancing AntaKori in Peru, adjacent to the Coimolache operation. It is assessing how the copper-gold mineralization could fit into a larger development concept with neighbouring resources.

An integrated mineral resource estimate was completed for internal evaluation in June 2026. Its publication requires agreement between the participating parties, and it is not a published economic study or mine-development decision. Regulus has no commercial production from AntaKori.

Aldebaran Resources Inc. holds 80% of the Altar copper-gold project in Argentina, with Sibanye-Stillwater holding the remaining 20%. Altar has a preliminary economic assessment and is being advanced toward a pre-feasibility study. It has no commercial production.

Aldebaran completed the spin-out of Centauri Minerals in August 2026 and retained approximately 27.9% of Centauri’s issued shares at completion. That investment is separate from Altar. The PEA’s production and economic estimates describe a proposed project rather than an operating mine.

Central Asia Metals plc is a London-listed metals producer. Its Kounrad operation in Kazakhstan recovers copper from historical waste dumps using leaching and solvent extraction/electrowinning. The company also owns the Sasa zinc-lead mine in North Macedonia.

CAML agreed in June 2026 to acquire Cygnus Metals, which would add copper development exposure in Canada. The transaction remains subject to the scheme process and completion conditions. Cygnus assets are prospective additions and should not yet be presented as CAML-owned producing operations.

Los Andes Copper Ltd. is a Canadian developer focused on the Vizcachitas copper-molybdenum project in central Chile. The project has a pre-feasibility study for a proposed open-pit mine and processing operation.

The company is advancing engineering and environmental work. Vizcachitas has no commercial production, and its planned output and economics depend on approvals, financing and a construction decision. Mineral resources, reserves defined within the study and projected production should be read as separate measures.

Hot Chili Limited is an Australian and Canadian-listed copper-gold developer focused on Costa Fuego in Chile. The development concept combines Cortadera, Productora and nearby deposits, with a pre-feasibility study and continuing environmental and infrastructure work.

The company is assessing the La Verde discovery as part of further project studies. Costa Fuego has no commercial copper production. Project design, ownership interests, permits and funding will determine the eventual scale and timing of development.
