About Us
A MODERN MINE FOR AMERICA’S FUTURE
Who We Are
Antler Operations, an Arizona-based company
Antler Operations, an Arizona-based company, is building a modern mining operation at the Antler Copper Project. Located 99% on private land in a sparsely populated part of Mohave County, Arizona, with one of the highest-grade copper deposits in the world, the project will use advanced technology, world-class engineering and industry best-practices to minimize environmental impacts, while producing minerals crucial to the clean energy transition and national security. Unlike other regional copper mines that have thousands of acres of surface disturbance, the underground mine at Antler will have a compact footprint of only 173 disturbance acres. Antler Operations further plans to reduce project impact by reusing 70% of operational water use, returning about 45% of the tailings underground, and utilizing a dry-stack tailings storage facility, which is considered an industry-leading practice in the mining sector.
