In addition to its Polish assets, KGHM has expanded internationally with mining and processing projects in North America and South America, including interests in Canada’s Sudbury Basin, the Robinson mine in the United States and the Sierra Gorda project in Chile. This global footprint enables KGHM to diversify its resource base and tap into multiple metal markets.

These facilities support the production of high‐purity copper and precious metals, serving clients in industrial manufacturing, electronics, construction and renewable energy sectors. The company’s emphasis on technological innovation and environmental compliance has driven investments in waste management, tailings treatment and energy efficiency.
Founded in the 1960s following the discovery of copper ore in the Legnica-Głogów region, KGHM has grown into one of the world’s largest copper and silver producers. The firm is publicly traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and its American depositary receipts trade OTC. Under the leadership of President and CEO Marcin Chludziński, KGHM continues to pursue sustainable growth through project development, strategic partnerships and a commitment to social responsibility in the communities where it operates.
