MAC Copper (NYSE:MTAL) (NYSE:MTAL) is a vertically integrated copper exploration, mining and production company focused on delivering high-quality copper concentrates and cathodes to global markets. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company was founded in 1995 as a junior explorer and completed its initial public offering in 2008. Over the past two decades, MAC Copper has grown through targeted acquisitions, the development of proprietary processing technologies and strategic partnerships with regional operators in North and South America.
The company operates a diversified asset portfolio that includes both open-pit and underground mines. Its flagship operations—the Coronado Mine in Arizona and the Sierra Blanca project in New Mexico—produce copper ore that is processed on-site using solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) techniques. In addition to copper, MAC Copper recovers gold and silver as byproducts, leveraging its metallurgical expertise to maximize resource recovery and optimize cost efficiencies. The company is also advancing two development-stage projects in northern Chile, where tier-one copper deposits offer significant expansion potential.
MAC Copper’s product mix caters to smelters and end-users across North America, Europe and Asia. The company’s copper concentrates are widely used in copper-refining operations, while its high-purity cathodes serve the electrical, electronics and renewable energy sectors. By maintaining long-term offtake agreements with key industrial partners, MAC Copper ensures stable revenue streams and alignment with major end-market demand trends, including the global transition to electric vehicles and green energy infrastructure.
Under the leadership of CEO John A. Harrison and CFO Maria T. Lopez, MAC Copper emphasizes sustainable mining practices, community engagement and environmental stewardship. The board of directors, chaired by David M. Chen, oversees a comprehensive corporate responsibility framework that addresses water management, land reclamation and greenhouse gas reduction. With a workforce of approximately 1,500 employees, the company continues to invest in technological innovation and safety initiatives to support its long-term growth strategy and commitment to responsible resource development.
