Taseko Mines' Florence Project Aims for 85M Lbs. of Copper Cathode Output

Taseko Mines' Florence project in Arizona has begun production, targeting 85 million pounds of copper cathodes annually. The project is expected to make its owner the country's third-largest refined copper producer by year-end. The mine uses unconventional methods to extract copper from low-grade ores, part of a growing trend in the US to meet increasing demand for the essential metal.
