Copper and cobalt producer CopperTech Metals has submitted an application for an initial public offering (IPO) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company is targeting a fundraising amount that could reach up to $5 billion.
CopperTech Metals is a copper mining company that was spun off from Vedanta and operates in Zambia. It is a U.S.-based producer of copper and cobalt, controlling one of the largest copper mining systems in the Central African Copperbelt. Its core asset is the flagship Konkola Copper Mines project located in Zambia's Copperbelt province.
The company operates an integrated mining platform with a resource base sufficient for decades of extraction, supported by existing infrastructure that includes mines, concentrators, smelters, refineries, and tailings leach plants. With increasing demand for copper driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure, data centers, and grid electrification, CopperTech plans capital expenditures of $2.7 billion over the next five fiscal years. Its goal is to achieve an average annual production of approximately 270,000 metric tons starting from the fiscal year 2030.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in New York City, the company generated revenue of $1.3 billion for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2026. It intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CUX. The company had confidentially filed for the listing on November 25, 2025.
The joint bookrunners for the transaction are Citigroup, Cantor Fitzgerald, BMO Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets, TD Securities, Stifel, and William Blair.
