Imperial Metals (IPMLF) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Imperial Metals Corporation is a Canada-based diversified mining company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of base and precious metals. The company’s principal assets include the Red Chris mine and the Mount Polley mine, both located in British Columbia. These operations focus primarily on the extraction of copper, gold and silver, with by-products such as molybdenum generated at Red Chris.

At Red Chris, Imperial Metals employs both open-pit and underground mining techniques to access copper-gold mineralization hosted within the Early Jurassic Hazelton volcanics. The Mount Polley mine, which resumed operations in 2014 following a temporary closure, uses open-pit methods to exploit its copper-gold orebody. Throughout its operations, Imperial Metals emphasizes responsible environmental management, incorporating water treatment facilities, tailings governance, and progressive reclamation programs.

Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Imperial Metals has grown from a junior exploration company into a mid-tier producer with a focus on long-life assets. The company’s leadership team is spearheaded by President and CEO Mark O’Dea, supported by a board of directors with extensive experience in mining finance, engineering, and environmental stewardship. Imperial Metals continues to evaluate exploration targets on its existing land packages while pursuing new opportunities to expand its resource base in Canada and abroad.
