Top 10 largest copper mining companies in 2022 - report

- The world’s top 10 largest copper mining companies ranked by reported attributable mined copper production in 2022 .

Freeport-McMoRan is the world’s second largest copper mining company with attributable copper production of 1,526 thousand tonnes in 2022, which is 8.5% more than a year ago, primarily due to strong production performance at Grasberg. Glencore sits fourth. The company’s 2022 own sourced copper production of 1,058 thousand tonnes was 12% lower than in 2021 due to ongoing geotechnical constraints at Katanga, the basis change arising from the sale of Ernest Henry in January 2022, Collahuasi mine sequencing and a lower contribution from Mount Isa.

China’s Zijin Mining ranked sixth with 859,000 tonnes of mine-produced copper in 2022 . The company increased its annual copper output following the successful production commencement of key projects such as the Upper Zone of the Cukaru Peki copper and gold mine in Serbia, the Kamoa-Kakula copper mine and the Julong copper mine in Tibet.
