Copperwood

Copperwood is an underground copper mine located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States. The facility is situated in Gogebic County, near the town of White Pine, in a region with a long history of copper mining. The mine is operated by Highland Copper Company through its subsidiary Kinterra Copper USA. Copperwood is designed to extract copper and silver from sulphide ore deposits using conventional underground mining methods. The project targets the Copperwood deposit, which contains estimated mineral resources that support a multiyear mining operation. The mine represents a significant investment in the revival of copper production in Michigan's historic copper district. Development of Copperwood has involved extensive permitting, environmental assessments and infrastructure construction to support underground operations. The facility is strategically important to the regional economy, providing employment and contributing to domestic copper supply in the United States. Copperwood forms part of Highland Copper's broader portfolio of copper projects in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
