ABOUT US
Advance Metals Limited (ASX:AVM) is focused on the discovery of major copper deposits in brownfield mining districts in Arizona and Idaho, as well as other western US states. Our strategy is to develop a portfolio of low-cost, high-grade deposits with a potential +100Mt of copper resources.
The company is currently developing its discoveries at the Garnet Skarn Deposit in Western Idaho and the newly acquired Augustus Polymetallic Project in Western Central Arizona. These two high-grade growth projects have the potential to be mid-size producers for the US domestic market.
AVM seeks to maximise shareholder value through the acquisition, discovery, and advancement of high-quality metals projects utilising the latest technology and exploration techniques. The company uses the expertise of our North American exploration teams to identify underexplored and undervalued high-grade copper projects with significant geological potential.
Our Strategy
The company’s strategy is to develop a portfolio of projects that support the green economy through the discovery and delivery of commodities that promote electrification and decarbonisation.
Advance Metals has positioned itself to take advantage of the decarbonisation of the global economy by investing directly in minerals that are key to the electrification economy. The company is developing the Garnet Creek Strategic Minerals and Copper project located in Western Idaho and believes that this project has the potential to become a key supplier of these minerals in the future.
Copper Sustainability
Copper is not only one of the most vital natural minerals on Earth but is also considered a “green material” in helping to create a sustainable global environment. Clean energy is one of the primary factors in producing a sustainable environment; fortunately, copper use aids in that process. It makes products more energy efficient, resulting in a more sustainable world. In addition, it is an eco-friendly recyclable resource.
In today’s world, industries, governments, and groups of individuals are becoming more aware of the environmental impact and how to reduce the carbon footprint to create a more sustainable world. Traditional mining is currently being replaced with lower-impact mining techniques. Advance Metals uses an eco-friendly, sustainable mining method that contributes to a more suitable approach to mining. Furthermore, we use other approaches, such as reusing mining waste and eco-friendly equipment while working on mining sites.
Our goal is to preserve, protect and restore biodiversity. Using a new evolutionary framework, “Development by design,” helps us achieve this. This environmental approach implements collaborative, scientific, and analytical methods to regulate development projects while conserving the natural environment. Advance Metals uses the most modern technology, effective strategies, and detailed planning to manage their mining projects to reduce gas emissions and conserve the natural water and environment.
Advance Metals’ philosophy is to put people at the heart of mining. We do this through creating high-paying employment and through our secondary activities, such as ‘buying local’ whenever possible to support homegrown businesses.
We also strive to be good neighbours by listening to our neighbouring communities and supporting their ideas and projects whenever possible. We aspire to grow the economy in our neighbouring communities to ensure enduring benefits from our presence.
Advance Metals is a professional, reliable company that complies with all regulations and sets the highest safety, financial, and environmental standards. In addition, we value business ethics keeping in mind competency, honesty, integrity, respect and compassion for our fellow team members, investors, and communities. We strive to follow those regulations and meet those standards while preserving the environment.
