On the same week that America turns 250 years old, the Mariana Minerals team is celebrating a critical milestone that moves the US one step closer to copper supply independence.
This week, Mariana Copper One began producing refined copper cathode from domestically-sourced copper scrap, successfully integrating stage 1 of copper scrap processing into our existing solvent extraction and electrowinning facility. This milestone marks the start of our aggressive ramp to 50ktpa of refined copper production at Copper One, from a mix of mined and scrap feedstocks.
A huge thanks to the Mariana team that made this possible, less than 2 months after restarting mining operations at Copper One!
The United States has always been at its best when it builds, and we're proud to be doing our part to help restore US industrial independence.
Happy Birthday America! ๐บ๐ธ
Iโve to get this off my chest FANS we do not need to fight other fans that wear different jerseys to support their teams. Itโs not only in the @NBA but all major sports and college this is sad a mob jump on kids families parents let show some respect and go cheer the teams onโฆ
Weโre proud to support the legislation introduced by @RepBlakeMoore aimed at strengthening Americaโs critical mineral supply chains.
We appreciate Congressman Mooreโs leadership in advancing this important conversation and helping position the United States for a more secure and sustainable mineral future.
We're thrilled to have been nominated and selected to the Black Flag 100!
To the founders that resonate with the importance of our mission and the value we are accruing in the minerals industry, thank you for the recognition - we're just getting started!
Thereโs a lot of talk about critical minerals right now, but what does mineral criticality actually mean?
It comes down to two things:
โข Importance to the economy
โข Risk to the mineral's supply chain
A mineral isnโt critical just because itโs widely used. If supply is stable and diversified, risk is low.
But when supply is concentrated, geopolitically exposed, or hard to replace, things change quickly.
Thatโs why critical minerals are getting so much attention. They sit at the center of advanced manufacturing, energy storage, electrified transport, electronics, AI infrastructure, aerospace, and defense - while also facing real supply risks. The chart below shows where those risks are most concentrated globally.
If weโre going to talk about critical minerals, we should start with a clear definition.

We are proud to be restarting mining operations at Copper One, helping strengthen the U.S. copper supply chain while creating real opportunity in rural Utah.
Make no mistake, this milestone belongs to our team at Copper One. Their hard work and commitment made it happen!
This is just the beginning.
We are proud to support @makeawishutah and the impact they have in the community.
