Taseko Mines' Florence Copper project in Arizona has successfully produced its first copper cathodes, marking the first new copper production from a greenfield facility in the U.S. since 2008. The project employs a globally pioneering in-situ copper recovery technology and is expected to produce 85 million pounds of LME Grade A copper annually, making it the third-largest copper producer in the country. All copper produced will be supplied to the U.S. domestic market, supporting supply chain security for key sectors such as automotive, semiconductors, and defense.
