Freeport-McMoRan Weighs Second Mega-Mine in US as Copper Prices Hold Firm
Freeport-McMoRan is considering expanding its Bagdad copper mine in the US Southwest, which could become the company's second large-scale mining operation in the region.
The proposed expansion would use a leaching technique to extract additional copper from material that the company already controls.
Copper prices have remained firm despite trade uncertainty surrounding refined copper imports.
