Kennecott Utah Copper produces approximately 300,000 tons of copper cathodes per year. We also produce molybdenum concentrate, gold, silver, and sulfuric acid as by-products.


The copper is mined, concentrated, smelted, and refined at Kennecott's facilities west of Salt Lake City and delivered to our customers by rail. In an industry marked by boom and bust business cycles, Kennecott Utah Copper has reliably provided copper to its customers for almost one hundred years.
