First Quantum Minerals Ltd. has grown from a small mineral operation

Australia and South America. This phenomenal growth is down to FQM
people who have strived to be Bolder, Smarter and Driven in everything

In March 2013, First Quantum Minerals acquired Inmet Mining
Corporation, a Canadian-based mining company primarily producing copper
and zinc from mines in Finland, Spain and Turkey, with also a major
copper deposit under development in Panama, known as Cobre Panama. The
