Dr. Toralf Haag, CEO of Aurubis AG, commented: “This partnership with Troilus Gold is an important step in reinforcing our international raw material sourcing strategy. With high-quality copper concentrates from Canada, we are enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of our portfolio while building a long-term, reliable partnership.”

The offtake agreement builds on the positive feasibility results of the Troilus Project, which is expected to produce approximately 75,000 metric tonnes of copper-gold concentrate annually.

Aurubis is strongly committed to sustainability: The company’s copper cathodes already have only about half of the CO₂ footprint compared to the global industry average, making Aurubis a frontrunner in environmentally friendly and resource-efficient copper production.
