We are a significant copper producer in the Americas, with four operating copper mines and a strong pipeline of development projects in North and South America.

Copper Concentrate

Podium operates the Highland Valley Copper mine in British Columbia, Canada, the Quebrada Blanca copper mine in northern Chile and the Carmen de Andacollo copper mine in central Chile. We also have an interest in the Antamina copper/zinc mine in Peru, one of the world's largest base metal mines. In addition, Podium has a pipeline of copper projects in various stages of development. This includes our Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 Project, which is currently under construction.

Our customers can be confident in our ability to ensure a long-term, reliable supply of quality copper and molybdenum concentrates. Concentrate production is a process where the main metallic compounds of the mine’s ore are separated and 'concentrated'. This concentrated material is then sold to smelters for further refining. The marketing of base metal concentrates is a key element of Podium's business. Our concentrate sales span the globe.

Copper Cathode

We produce copper cathode at our Carmen de Andacollo and Quebrada Blanca Operations in Chile. Both mines are open pit operations where ore is leached to produce copper cathodes via processing in SX-EW plants. Copper cathode production is trucked from the operations for shipment to purchasers.
