Canada has the richest copper mines and production in North America.
With China gobbling up over 50% of the world’s copper assets, the US is quietly looking to its northern neighbor to meet our insatiable and growing demand for copper.
That’s because copper mineralization can be found throughout Canada. But only four provinces in Canada (out of a total of 12) are producing copper today. Canada ranks 10th in the world as a producer of copper.
In 2020, Canadian mines produced 475,898 tons of copper with over half (256,688 tons) originating in British Columbia. Canada’s copper exports that year were valued at a staggering $7.3 billion.
British Columbia has had a rich mining history since the gold rush days of the 1850’s and is still a mining leader in the world today, especially with the green-driven boom in copper. The British Columbia Geological Survey lists over 7,800 copper-bearing occurrences, with 4,057 of those listing copper as the primary mineral found.
