Copper is a critical element with widespread uses including being a key material in electric motors, batteries, wiring and charging stations. As global demand shifts to low-carbon energy, supply is thinning due to the challenges in commissioning new mines and the slowing discovery of new sites.

Copper is likely to be one of the greatest beneficiaries of the transition to low-carbon energy across the world and the re-start of the TNC operation is a promising opportunity.
