In Rouyn-Noranda, we have the Horne Smelter, the only copper smelter in Canada. This operation is closely connected to the Canadian Copper Refinery, in Montreal. Combined, these two fully integrated facilities process concentrate from more than 15 Canadian mines, as well as recycled material. One of the notable features of the Horne Smelter is its ability to process a wide range of feeds, including precious and critical metals in end-of-life electronics. The Horne Smelter is already the largest electronic waste recycler in North America.
We are also working to enhance the operations of our existing facilities. Glencore plans to invest more than $500 million in a major transformative project at the Horne Smelter to make it a world-leading smelter in terms of operations and emissions. This investment will position the Horne Smelter for the future, ensuring its continued contribution to Canada's climate ambitions and leadership in the critical minerals sector.
