Copper, Nickel, Lead & Zinc Mining in the US

The Copper, Nickel, Lead and Zinc Mining industry consists of companies that mine metal-bearing ores and sell them in raw form or as concentrates. Since the United States only contains one nickel mine, industry performance mainly depends on copper, lead and zinc production and prices. These minerals are key inputs in construction, electronics, and automobiles. Accordingly, demand fluctuates in unison with growth in global activity. China's vast appetite for copper and other metals creates a robust and direct relationship between Chinese demand and global market conditions. Industry performance has been stymied by waning global growth, particularly due to the ongoing US-China trade war and the pandemic. Global copper prices recovered in unison with the economy, with the industry excelling as it generates revenue beyond pre-pandemic levels. Overall, industry revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 3.2% to $15.9 billion, with a projected decline of 7.7% in 2023 as profit slides to an estimated 23.4%.

Operators in the industry mine copper, nickel, lead or zinc-bearing ore. They may also develop mine sites and convert the mined ore into concentrates for further processing.
