Here is the reality: Existing mines won't be enough for the coming demand. (unless investment EXPANDS substantially) ___ For exposure, you may consider: 🔹 Chakana Copper Corp. | PERU 🔹 BHP GROUP LIMITED | BHP 🔹 Freeport-McMoRan l FCX | FCX 📊 CRU #copper #EnergyTransition #decarbonisation

The global demand for copper is increasing, and South Australia has some of the world’s finest copper resources. It was great to share some perspectives on BHP’s South Australian operations and plans for growth at the Copper to the World Conference. We have growth projects either being studied or actively underway at all three mines, our smelter/refinery, and Oak Dam project - on top of our operations. To bring this vision to life we will need to find new ways for partnership and collaboration across the industry. #C2TW #CopperSA

GLENCORE’S CCR REFINERY: AN OVERVIEW OF HOW COPPER IS MADE, INCLUDING COPPER REFINING & PROCESSING Glencore’s Canadian Copper Refinery (CCR) in Montréal, Quebec, is a pivotal facility in the global copper industry, renowned for its advanced copper refining and processing techniques. Established in 1931 and formerly part of Xstrata Canada, the CCR refinery has a long-standing history of producing high-quality copper products. 🔹 Established Facility: Glencore’s CCR refinery in Montréal has been operational since 1931 and is a leader in copper refining and processing. 🔹 High-Purity Products: The refinery produces copper cathodes with a purity of around 99.99%. 🔹 Electro-Refining Process: The core refining process involves electro-refining, which purifies copper anodes to high-purity cathodes. 🔹 By-Product Recovery: Valuable metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are recovered from anode slime. 🔹 Innovation and Sustainability: CCR is committed to innovation and sustainable practices, including recycling spent anodes. #CopperRefining #Glencore #CCRRefinery #Sustainability #ElectroRefining #CopperProcessing #IndustrialInnovation #EconomicImpact #MetalsIndustry #GlobalTrade

New IEF report shows that just for business-as-usual demands, 115% more copper must be mined in the next 30 years than has been mined to date. To electrify the global vehicle fleet 55% more new mines are required than would otherwise be needed. ⏬Download our new copper EV report: https://lnkd.in/euyzVgke
