Copper in Arizona
Copper
A deficit in copper is anticipated in the next years as the demand for copper in infrastructure and electrification will not be met by the supply from miners and scrap. Considering that new large copper mining projects take a minimum of 10 years to produce, copper prices are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future.
Arizona
Arizona currently produces approximately 65% of U.S. copper. The state’s mineral future looks bright as the U.S. economy migrates to green energy, which relies heavily on copper produced domestically.
Arizona is endowed with a vast copper resource having produced approximately15% of all the copper produced in the world.
Arizona ranks at the top of the safest mining jurisdictions in the world according to the Fraser Institute’s annual survey of 2020.
