Taseko

Taseko Mines Limited is a Canadian-based mining company primarily engaged in the exploration, development, and production of copper and molybdenum. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company is focused on sustainable resource extraction and aims to contribute to the local economies through its operations.

The company’s flagship project is the Gibraltar Mine, located in British Columbia, which is one of the largest open-pit copper-molybdenum mines in Canada. Gibraltar has been operational since 1972, with ongoing expansion and modernization efforts to enhance production capacity and environmental performance. In addition to Gibraltar, Taseko is involved in other projects, including the Florence Copper project in Arizona, where it is developing an in-situ recovery operation for copper extraction.

Taseko emphasizes environmentally responsible practices, including minimizing ecological footprints and engaging with local communities. Its operations involve careful management of water, waste, and emissions to meet regulatory standards and promote sustainable development.

The company has faced certain environmental and regulatory challenges, particularly regarding its proposed New Prosperity Project in British Columbia, a plan to develop a large-scale gold and copper mine. This project has encountered opposition from environmental groups and indigenous communities, highlighting ongoing debates over resource development and environmental conservation.

Taseko Mines remains a significant player in North America’s copper mining sector, with a strategic focus on expanding its resource base and maintaining operational efficiency. Its activities are integral to the supply chain of copper and molybdenum, essential for electrical infrastructure, transportation, and various industrial applications.
