Canada’s Taseko Mines (TSX: TKO) (NYSE: TGB) has harvested its first copper cathodes at the newly built Florence Copper operation in Arizona, marking the first new copper production from a greenfield project in the US since 2008.
The company said the cathodes were produced following the late-February start-up of Florence’s electrowinning plant, which began commercial operations and copper output.
