Why This Matters
As the U.S. looks to strengthen domestic supply chains for critical minerals, Highland Copper is advancing a project that could play a key role in meeting that need. With over 3.7 billion pounds of defined copper, full operating and construction permits, and a completed feasibility study, the company is working toward a near-term construction decision. Engineering is already underway, and previous site work wrapped in 2024. The project’s economics show strong potential—particularly in a rising price environment, where a $1 increase in copper could triple the net asset value. At a time when copper is essential to electrification, infrastructure, and clean energy systems, Highland’s timing aligns well with national priorities.
Key Takeaways
- One of the most advanced copper assets in the U.S.
- Fully permitted for operations and construction
- 3.7 billion pounds of copper with completed feasibility study
- Detailed engineering started in 2025
- Substantial upside if copper prices move from $4 to $5

Speaker1: Our primary focus is bringing the Copperwood project to a near term construction decision, and we think that coincides nicely with the urgent need for domestic copper supply in the US. Copperwood has all the permits it needs a current feasibility study. We did some site work in 2024 and we initiated detailed engineering in early 2025. So we think the building blocks are really there to build the next US copper mine.
