Highland Copper is working on the development of two promising copper mining projects in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Copperwood Project is a greenfield project with a projected 10.7-year mine life. It is a lower capital intensity project that can rapidly reach commercial production, making it an ideal first project for the company.
The White Pine North Project, held jointly with Kinterra, is located approximately 45 miles (72.5 kilometers) away, in Ontonagon County. It is a brownfield site where the White Pine mine was previously operated for over 40 years by Copper Range Company, producing over 4.5 billion pounds of copper.
