Glencore Canada’s industrial assets, such as our mines, smelters and refineries, employ the majority of our approximately 12,000 employees and contractors in the country.
These sites bring to life our Purpose: to responsibly source the commodities that advance everyday life. Across these assets, our employees and contractors produce and recycle critical minerals – including copper, cobalt, nickel, and zinc – and supply transition-enabling steelmaking coal.
While these assets often work in an integrated fashion, we invite you to visit their individual websites to learn more about them.
