London Stock Exchange welcomes Atalaya Mining Plc to the Main Market
Atalaya Mining plc is a European copper producer that owns and operates the Proyecto Riotinto complex in southwest Spain. The Company was first quoted on AIM in 2005 and today, Atalaya is celebrating the admission of its shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market.
Atalaya is one of the few “pure-play” copper producers listed in London. In 2016, the Company declared commercial production at its Proyecto Riotinto operations and following multiple expansions, has consistently produced over 50,000 tonnes of copper per annum since 2020. Atalaya’s modern 15 Mtpa processing plant and significant resource base will allow the Company to deliver further production growth at a time when the copper market is expected to be in deficit. In addition, the Company remains focused on the development of Proyecto Touro, a brownfield copper project in Galicia, Spain, which could result in Atalaya becoming a multi-asset producer of copper and other critical metals.
Key to Atalaya’s success is its commitment to operating in a responsible and sustainable manner, with a particular focus on the environment and the many stakeholders in the regions surrounding its operations. Atalaya’s Proyecto Riotinto Foundation is actively engaged in advancing the Company’s Corporate Social Investment initiatives within the Riotinto Mining District.
