First
Quantum Minerals Ltd. has grown from a small mineral operation in Zambia into a
multinational mining business in less than two decades, with a global portfolio
of copper and nickel assets in Europe, Africa, Australia and South America.
This phenomenal growth is down to FQM people who have strived to be Bolder,
Smarter and Driven in everything they do.
In
March 2013, First Quantum Minerals acquired Inmet Mining Corporation, a
Canadian-based mining company primarily producing copper and zinc from mines in
Finland, Spain and Turkey, with also a major copper deposit under development
in Panama, known as Cobre Panama. The combination of the First Quantum and
Inmet assets has created one of the world’s leading copper producers with a
geographically diversified portfolio of high-quality operations and development
projects in eight countries across five continents.
With
a strategic plan to produce more than 1 million tonnes per annum of copper
within five years, the Company is poised to become the largest, widely-held
pure-play copper producer and one of the top five copper producers in the
world.
