First Quantum Minerals is a Canadian copper producer with major operations in Zambia (Kansanshi) and the shuttered-then-restarting Cobre Panama mine. In 2026 the company received formal Panamanian approval to process roughly 38 million tonnes of stockpiled ore at Cobre Panama containing about 70,000 tonnes of recoverable copper, prompting it to raise full-year copper production guidance to 405,000-475,000 tonnes.
