Paris – September 16, 2026 -- Cuprum Metals has won the Grand Prix Scale-Up Award at the World Materials Forum, recognizing technology designed to unlock copper from chalcopyrite ores that have historically constrained global supply.
Cuprum's technology targets copper locked in hard-to-process sulfide ores
The award, presented September 4 in Paris, singles out Cuprum's approach to copper recovery from primary and secondary sulfides, including chalcopyrite, a mineral form that has long limited extraction efficiency across the mining industry.
