Its assets include the mines of; Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos in Chile, Cozamin in Mexico and Pinto Valley in Arizona, United States.[3][4][5] It runs also the mining projects of Copper Cities and Santo Domingo in Arizona and Chile respectively.[3] Santo Domingo is Capstone Copper's first greenfield exploration project in Chile.[6]
The company formed in March 2022 from the merger of Capstone Mining and the Bermudas-based Mantos Copper.[2][7] In the merger Capstone Mining owners kept 61% of the stakes of the new company while Mantos Copper owners kept the remaining 39%.[2]
Copper mining is the main focus of the company albeit it also mines gold, silver, zinc and molybdenum as by-products.[3] The mines of Mantoverde and Santo Domingo are thought to be able to provide battery-grade cobalt.[1]
