First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is an
established and growing mining and metals company currently operating four
mines and developing projects worldwide. Our aim is to become a globally
diversified mining and metals company.
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.
We currently produce copper
cathode, copper in concentrate, nickel, gold and sulphuric acid.
First Quantum’s current
operations are the Kansanshi copper-gold mine in Zambia, the Guelb Mothering
copper-gold mine in Mauritania, the Kevitsa nickel-copper-PGE mine in Finland
and the Ravensthorpe nickel-cobalt mine in Australia.
When our current projects are in
operation, we expect we will be able to triple our annual copper production
capacity and be positioned within the world’s 10 largest copper producers.
Sentinel is the first mine to be
developed at the Trident project in the North Western Province of Zambia. The
project comprises five large-scale mining licenses and significant geological
potential exists for expansion of operations, including the Enterprise nickel
mine announced in December 2012. First Quantum is investing US$1.725-billion at
the Sentinel mine and construction remains on time and on budget. Plant
commissioning will commence in mid-2014 and copper production is expected reach
280 – 300,000 tonnes per annum.
