The Mine
The Copper Mine in Arizona, USA
Situated in the southern Tortilla Mountains of east-central Arizona, the Kelvin Copper Deposit lies just 5 miles south-southwest of the ASARCO Ray Copper Mine, currently Arizona’s second largest copper producer.
Get to know the mine
The original Kelvin Copper Deposit consists of one (1) patented, and 53 unpatented lode mining claims, comprising the southwest half of Section 9, the eastern one-third of Section 8, and the northeastern-most corner of Section 17, of T4S, R13E of the Gila & Salt River Base and Meridian in Pinal County, Arizona). The project sits squarely within the northwest-trending Arizona Copper Belt, located roughly 60 miles southeast of Phoenix, and 60 miles north of Tucson.
Tempestas Copper took ownership in Q4 2020 and made investments into Phase 1 reporting by Mission Geo-Science and Phase 2 with the staking out additional claims. Drone mapping the entire property provided visual overview and culminated in the production of our 43-101 Technical Report produced by consulting geologist Michael R. Smith R.M (SME-Geology) of Geological Professional Services LLC. We have also engaged Leapfrog production in producing a Lidar 3D mapping of the project.
Early 2024 will lead with the instigation of road networks, amenities, and increasing the workforce with 14 new Geologists to assist in carrying out 8 deep drills and 20 short drills, enabling the start of production early 2028.
Since ownership, we have staked out additional claims from 32 to 226 thus increasing the size of the project from 640 acres to approximately 4520 acres. According to geographic maps and knowledge of the area, these claims will provide expected copper reserves extractable of minimum 3 Billion Pounds (lb) to a maximum 10 Billion Pounds (lb) which would at current prices value our in ground assets at $12 Billion to $43 Billion.

Market Dynamics
Future Growth vs. Supply Challenges (2024-2029)
Graph depicts strong demand growth driven by renewable energy and EV sectors vs constrained supply from aging mines and geopolitical risks.
Tesla's EVs contain up to 183 pounds of copper per vehicle, supporting their mission to create a sustainable future. Google’s data centers depend on copper for energy efficiency and reliability.
Current market dynamics show a long term upward trend in copper prices due to aging mines and geopolitical factors affecting supply. Strategic investments in copper now could yield significant returns.
