ChileOperations
Integrated copper cathode production with smelting facilities in the world's largest copper-producing nation. Chile's giant porphyry copper systems deliver the consistent LME Grade A quality that global manufacturers and traders demand.
The World's Copper Capital
Chile's Atacama and Antofagasta regions host the planet's largest and highest-grade porphyry copper deposits. Sterling Ore's Chilean operations combine open-pit oxide ore mining with SX-EW electrowinning circuits to deliver 99.99% pure copper cathodes in LME-registered plate form — the benchmark quality specification for global commodities trading.
As a co-product of the copper circuit, we also recover and refine molybdenum concentrate — a critical alloying element for high-strength steel applications. Both commodities ship CIF on forward and spot contract terms with full LME and COMEX documentation.
- Open-pit porphyry mining — Atacama and Antofagasta regions
- SX-EW electrowinning — LME Grade A copper cathode plates
- Molybdenum concentrate recovery from copper processing circuit
