Celebrating Florence Copper's Grand Opening: Marking Major Milestone

On October 6 2026, Florence Copper hosted an event in Arizona to mark the onset of commercial production at the world’s first greenfield commercial-scale in-situ copper operation. Representatives of federal, state and local governments attended, including U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, along with employees, community and business partners. Administrator Zeldin commented, “After almost two decades without a new copper source anywhere in the U.S., the Florence Copper Mine in Arizona is now open and will produce tens of millions of pounds of copper per year and create hundreds of good-paying jobs to the community. It was great to be there in person yesterday to celebrate the mine’s opening—a huge win for Arizona’s economy and its environment.”

“Bringing Florence Copper into production is a huge accomplishment for our team, and for all of our partners and supporters who made it possible,” Mr. McDonald said. “Florence Copper brings Trekor one step closer to its goal of becoming a leading North American copper producer.”
