Copper resources are key for the world to go electric, and shift away from the use of fossil fuels.
The mining industry has spent decades, and billions of dollars, trying to extract increasingly valuable copper metal from chalcopyrite mineral deposits that contain >70% of the world’s in-ground copper. However, chalcopyrite is often too low grade to justify the cost of extraction, and thus copper in these deposits today is “stranded” and often classified as waste.
The Alderley team, having recently had success developing a similar technology to extract precious metal from difficult to process sulphide ores, is now taking on the challenge of creating a superior processing technology to economically leach copper from chalcopyrite; a technology long thought of as the “holy grail” of the copper mining industry.
Alderley Copper Technologies aims to be the world’s leading green copper company by unlocking access to these vast stranded resources needed for our world's electric future. We aim to reduce the cost of copper extraction by $10’s of billions for the global mining industry, and creating value from ores that were previously considered waste.
Copper is not merely a commodity; it's a catalyst for a new era of global economic growth.
