Reuters2026/08/20 23:45- BHP teamed with MIT spinout SiTration to pilot copper recovery from mining-impacted water at its legacy Copper Cities site in Arizona.
- Two-stage trial targets continuous autonomous copper production starting in August, followed by a larger run later this year.
- Second stage aims to produce up to 2 tonnes of commercial-scale copper cathodes over about two months.
- Bench tests previously produced LME Grade A copper, supporting the case for scaling the technology on legacy water streams.
