Ivanhoe Electric owns or holds stakes in nine electric metals developments across the US, including the Santa Cruz copper project in Arizona and its Tintic project in Utah.
The mine’s fleet today includes 36 Cat 793F autonomous and four 793D staffed mining trucks to haul material, and the conversion to AHS was one of the fastest in the industry.
One of the world’s top copper mines is running out of storage space, raising the risk of slowing or halting production in another threat to global supply of the metal.
