Copperstone's International Sales and Expansion into New Markets
Strategic Ventures Impact Insights: February 2026Â (Volume 4, Number 2)
International Sales and Expansion into New Markets
Copperstone's autonomous robots let mining companies perform bathymetry, dust suppression, and other critical tasks in tailings waste ponds and other hazardous/inaccessible areas. This reduces human risk, cost, and provides more accurate data. Copperstone is showing momentum for 2026, with increasing unsolicited inbound requests for rovers and services.
Recent examples include:
Sale of a HELIX Neptune rover to Antofagasta Minera Centinela in Chile. Total value of $400K US, with an annual support contract of over $30K US.
An expanding lineup of dust suppression projects booked just since January 1:
Cleveland Cliffs site in Minnesota (April 2026): $60K US
Vale site in Ontario (May 2026): $50K US
Freeport in Arizona and Colorado, Taseko in British Columbia: Summer 2026
Two new bathymetry sites added so far for 2026 (Taseko in British Columbia and First Majestic Silver in Nevada)
