"Over the next 24 months, we aim to make compelling investment decisions to extend mine life beyond 2032, particularly given the strong state of the copper market."
"We are one of only two companies globally with active references on the gearless conveyor drive technology in operation. We have collaborated with ABB on various high-capacity and technical gearless drive projects."
"We have seen a growing demand for contract mining among junior metal mining companies. We see immense opportunities in the Western and Southwestern regions, spanning Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho."
"By applying ore sorting, we can build a smaller mill to process only the high-grade fraction, maintaining production rates but at a reduced cost. This approach supports a minimum 30-year mine life."
"In 2024, we signed a groundbreaking Good Neighbor Agreement with the Town of Superior, Pinal County, Gila County, and other Copper Triangle towns, and over a dozen groups with interests in the area. This agreement formalizes our commitment to transparency and two-way dialogue throughout the mine's life."
"Once the smelter reopens, we would produce a more finished product, the anode, which would be sent to the Amarillo refinery in Texas to manufacture wire rods."
"We can now initiate projects in Budapest and conclude them at our larger-scale GMP facility in Spain and/or Mexico, offering to our customers an option for integrated project management for their programs."
