Our Approach
Copper is a vital metal for achieving global sustainability and net zero emission goals. We believe that truly making progress towards these green energy targets begins with the responsible sourcing of the metals essential for electrification, renewable energy generation and storage, and energy efficiency.
Our operations are copper-focused and located in Idaho, USA. The United States is a stable jurisdiction with some of the world’s most stringent mining laws and clearly defined permitting processes. These rules and regulations are designed to protect the rights of businesses and employees and safeguard the environment.
These mandatory protections lay a strong foundation for the responsible sourcing of essential metals like copper; however, we understand that because of the legacy left by historic mining practices, additional considerations should be made to foster a trusting partnership with the communities surrounding our operations.
Our ESG & Sustainability Committee is responsible for completing yearly sustainability audits of our operations. These internal audits are completed in accordance with globally recognized sustainability standards and metrics and are reported publicly in an annual Sustainability Report. In addition, detailed information regarding our corporate policies and operational practices is submitted to Digbee ESG, a third-party ESG disclosure and verification company, for an external review and score of our sustainability practices. This voluntary effort for external review is made to promote further accountability and transparency. We have received ‘A’ ratings from Digbee ESG in both years of reporting, 2022 and 2023.
