- Atalaya Mining Copper SA (LSE: ATYM) produces copper concentrates including silver by-products from its open-pit Cerro Colorado mine and associated 15 million tonne per annum processing plant located in the Riotinto District of southwest Spain; it holds interests in the polymetallic Masa Valverde project and exploration permits at Riotinto East, both wholly owned and positioned for processing at the Riotinto hub; a phased earn-in agreement for up to 80% of the brownfield Touro copper project in northwest Spain; a 99.9% interest in the Ossa Morena exploration package covering copper-gold targets; and earn-in agreements for initial 75% interests in the Skellefte Belt and Rockliden volcanogenic massive sulphide projects in Sweden. The company, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Seville, Spain, focuses on copper production and development across established mineral belts in Europe, primarily targeting the Iberian Pyrite Belt while expanding into underexplored districts hosting critical metals essential for the energy transition; operations emphasize low geopolitical risk, leveraging modern infrastructure to support growth projects with reduced capital intensity. In January 2025, the company completed its re-domiciliation from Cyprus to Spain and changed its name from Atalaya Mining Plc to Atalaya Mining Copper SA following its April 2024 transfer to the London Stock Exchange Main Market; recent advancements include the May 2025 granting of the Unified Environmental Authorisation for the San Dionisio expansion at Riotinto enabling accelerated waste stripping, ongoing infill drilling at Masa Valverde and San Antonio polymetallic deposits with access ramp development pending surface rights acquisition, continued permitting progress for Touro declared a strategic project by Galicia authorities in 2024, initial drilling at Swedish projects commenced in late 2025, and a September 2025 placing of up to 8.2 million shares to bolster its growth pipeline.
