After declining by 4.8% in 2020, US copper production recovered by 2.5% to 1,230 thousand tonnes (kt) in 2021 - mainly supported by strong performances from the country’s major producers Freeport-McMoRan Inc and Rio Tinto. Together, these two accounted for 66.8% of the total production with 821.6kt copper in 2021, up from 783.2kt in the previous year. Copper production from Freeport-McMoRan, which accounted for 53.8% of the country’s total production, grew by 3%, mainly due to production ramp-up from the Lone Star mine which started operations in 2020 and resumption of operations at the Chino mine with 50% of employee capacity in 2021. Meanwhile, copper production at Rio Tinto’s US operations totalled 159.4kt, up by 13.9% compared to the previous year, owing to higher grades and recovery.
