Production platform and growth pipeline
Copper production was 118 kt in 2025; the outlook indicates 24% growth over three years and a 70% medium-term increase, supported by operating improvements and new projects.
Three operating regions provide exposure to copper, gold and other metals; the portfolio includes Constancia in Peru, Snow Lake in Manitoba and Copper Mountain in British Columbia.
Copper World, Cactus and Mason underpin U.S. growth optionality; the presentation cites potential production above 500 kt of copper per year with U.S. growth projects.
Long-term production ambitions include a 400 kt CuEq target; Copper World is expected to lift copper output, with further potential from Cactus, Mason and exploration.
Operating assets and exploration
Constancia has a 15-year mine life, 90 kt/day nameplate mill capacity and 2025 production of 85 kt copper and 75 koz gold; throughput initiatives, including pebble crushers, are advancing from H2 2026.
Snow Lake's updated mine plan extends operations to 2043; reserves total 27.0 Mt, with 12.3 Mt of inferred resources at Snow Lake and 8.3 Mt inferred at the Britannia Gold Project.
New Britannia is operating above 2,000 tpd versus 1,500 tpd design capacity; the project achieved payback in 2.5 years and has a stated 36% IRR after operating improvements.
Copper Mountain optimization targets 50,000 tpd mill throughput in H2 2026; New Ingerbelle is expected to extend mine life by more than 10 years and add 165.5 Mt of ore reserves.
Snow Lake satellite deposits, Peru targets Maria Reyna and Caballito, and deep geophysics in Manitoba offer further resource conversion and discovery opportunities.
