Our global operating assets generate strong cash flow and earnings to support First Quantum's growth and diversification strategy. We are one of the world's top 10 copper producers and also hold significant interests in nickel.
Our portfolio includes high-quality, low-cost copper mines, particularly Kansanshi in Africa and Cobre Panama in Latin America. We also have significant copper and nickel projects in Africa and Australia. In addition to these minerals, we produce gold, zinc and cobalt as commercially important by-products from our copper and nickel extraction.
Why Invest
With our brownfield and greenfield projects, the company sees a pathway to 1 million tonnes of annual production, making us one of the world's top producers of this metal. We were founded on our belief in the fundamentals of copper and we expect demand for copper will continue to grow.
We are confident that sustainable energy initiatives and electrification of transport will make a significant contribution to long-term demand growth generated by middle-class consumption in developing nations as well as developed economies. There are few new projects of scale in the global pipeline to meet future demand.
Our Cobre Panama operation is the only major new source of copper to be commissioned in the past decade.
