Arc Minerals Limited is an exploration and mine development company focused on the discovery, evaluation, acquisition, and development of large-scale copper and copper-cobalt deposits primarily in the Western part of the Zambian Copperbelt and in Botswana. Its core products and services include exploration and prospect generation of copper and cobalt mineral assets, with key licenses located in the Domes region of the Zambian Copperbelt near significant mines such as First Quantum Minerals’ Sentinel and Kansanshi copper mines, and Barrick’s Lumwana mine. The company maintains a portfolio of mineral assets across Zambia and Botswana and targets Tier 1 copper deposits through strategic partnerships with major mining companies. Founded in 2007, Arc Minerals is headquartered in London and listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker ARCM.
In the last 1-2 years, Arc Minerals has undergone major strategic changes and operational developments. Significant recent developments include the termination by mutual agreement of its joint venture with Anglo American PLC’s subsidiary, resulting in Anglo American withdrawing from the joint venture and surrendering its interests. Arc Minerals has resumed control of the Handa Resources joint venture entity, regarded as a highly prospective copper tenement in Africa, and intends to explore options for these assets, including potential new joint venture partners. The company has also actively progressed exploration programs including commencement of drilling activities at the Virgo project and expanded its exploration efforts in both Zambia and Botswana with promising drilling results extending copper mineralization.
Arc Minerals operates within the minerals exploration industry focusing on base metals, serving mining industry stakeholders primarily in Africa. The company continuously evaluates new opportunities to enhance its mineral asset holdings and advance development projects to commercial production. The corporate strategy emphasizes discovery and development of Tier 1 copper deposits leveraging partnerships and a high-caliber executive team experienced in sustainable mine development.
