Highland Copper is focused on becoming a key domestic supplier of copper for Michigan and the United States. Its flagship, fully permitted Copperwood Project in Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula benefits from strong local and state support and is advancing toward a construction decision, positioning it as a near-term source of responsibly produced copper.
Highland Copper’s timing could not be better. With the energy transition (electrification) becoming a global economic force and a high priority for the state of Michigan, the demand for (and price of) copper, already in supply deficit in the US, will ramp up significantly.
What sets our two projects apart is their location. We have strong support at every level: the federal government has designated copper as a critical metal; Michigan wants to help accelerate electrification; and we have formal resolutions of support from all local communities.
When it comes to ESG, we’ve got all the bases covered: we’re mining underground (which minimizes surface impact), we’ve preserved large tracts of wetland in perpetuity, we will not draw water from Lake Superior; and we will create well-paying, quality jobs.
For information on the status of the Copperwood project, please see our latest corporate presentation.
Copperwood is Highland Copper’s 100% owned, fully permitted copper project in Michigan, a state that is fully supportive of electrification.
Copperwood is a greenfield copper project with a projected 10.7-year mine life. The project is designed with a relatively low initial capital requirement and a development plan that supports a near-term path to production.
