First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is an established and growing
mining and metals company currently operating four mines and developing
projects worldwide. Our aim is to become a globally diversified mining and
metals company.
With a strategic plan to produce more than 1 million tonnes
per annum of copper within five years, the Company is poised to become the
largest, widely-held pure-play copper producer and one of the top five copper
producers in the world.
We currently produce 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,
the Kevitsa nickel-copper-PGE mine in Finland and the Ravensthorpe
nickel-cobalt mine in Australia.
When our current 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.
Sentinel is the first mine to be developed at the Trident
project in the North Western Province of Zambia. The project comprises five
large-scale mining licenses and significant geological potential exists for
expansion of operations, including the Enterprise nickel mine announced in
December 2012. First Quantum is investing US$1.725-billion at the Sentinel mine
and construction remains on time and on budget. Plant commissioning will
commence in mid-2014 and copper production is expected reach 280 – 300,000
tonnes per annum.
