More about Copper 360

Copper 360 is South Africa’s only listed primary copper producer, feeding into the rapidly rising demand for copper from the global Energy Transition. The company says it is currently in the ramp-up stage of its business cycle, and well-positioned to increase production to 5,000 tonnes per year in the near term.

Housing a mining right to over 70% of the O’Okiep Copper District in the Namaqua Copper Belt, Copper 360 owns the right to over 12 mines and a further 60 prospects on 19,000 hectares. This is underpinned by an extensive geological database built up over more than seven decades of mining and exploration activities.

Over the medium to long term, Copper 360’s plan is to adopt a redesigned and modernised version of the O’OKiep Copper Company’s historic multi-mine model, which will be deployed on the extensive copper resource base, transitioning Copper 360 to a notable producer of low-emission copper.
