Almost unattainable gap between green energy copper demand and mining supply

Extraction
Specialised haul trucks, conveyors, trains, and shuttle cars are used to haul the ore from the extraction site to the processing site. Our ore’s are rich in Copper, Gold, Nickel and Cobalt.
Beneficiation
The beneficiation process includes activities which will help improve the concentration of the ore and remove impurities. The end result is high quality fine ore powders of 90% Copper Anode; 99.9% Copper Cathode and 99.9% Gold Bullion.
Refining
Precious and rare metals such as Gold, Nickel, Cobalt, Silver & PGM’s are recovered through refinement processes. These precious metals (powdered) are melted and cast into ingots.
In Service
The acceleration towards lowering carbon output through alternative energy sources has become a top priority around the world, particularly in the transportation sector. With forecasts of increased electric vehicle (EV) adoption, all eyes are on the battery metals of Cobalt, Lithium and Nickel. However, the role to be played by copper in this push for a green recovery should not be underestimated. Not only is copper used within vehicle production but is also intrinsic in the various elements of EV infrastructure.
Recycling
Electronics recycling is critical in diverting solid waste and supporting zero landfill initiatives. E-waste is also a particularly rich source of precious metals such as Copper, Nickel, Cobalt and Lithium. There are over 320 tons of gold and greater than 7,500 tons of silver used each year to make new electronic products around the world and this figure is set to increase over time.
Mission
ESG
We are fully engaged with global standard ESG principles, underpinned by our own strategy of Decentralisation, Purpose and Shared Value.
Responsible Business
We are fully committed to following an environmentally protective ethos and an ethically driven philosophy.
Building the Future
We are creating wealth and opportunity for future generations in a safe, socially responsible manner and embracing new technologies to enhance sustainability.
Invest
We are confident that sustainable energy initiatives and electrification of transport will make a significant contribution to long-term demand growth generated by middle-class consumption in developing nations as well as developed economies. There are few new projects of scale in the global pipeline to meet future demand.
