Original: Fortescue's world-first arsenic removal technology unlocks new potential for global copper deposits
Fortescue says it has developed a world-first technology for removing arsenic from copper ores, a breakthrough the company argues could unlock copper deposits previously considered too contaminated to mine economically. With global demand for copper rising on the back of electrification and renewable energy projects, the ability to safely process arsenic-bearing ores could open up significant new supply. The announcement highlights Fortescue's push beyond iron ore into broader resources and technology ventures.
Why now: The technology could expand global copper supply at a time of surging demand for the metal.
