First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is an established and growing mining and metals company currently operating three mines and developing four projects worldwide. Our aim is to become a globally diversified mining and metals company.
We currently produce LME grade "A" 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 Moghrein copper-gold mine in Mauritania and the Ravensthorpe nickel-cobalt mine in Australia.
When our current copper 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.
