First Quantum Minerals says its $500m, 430MW wind-and-solar project with Total Eren and Chariot for its Kansanshi and Sentinel mines in Zambia remains on track, creating over 1,200 construction jobs.
First Quantum Minerals abandoned plans to sell minority stakes in its Kansanshi and Sentinel mines in Zambia, its CEO said on 25 August 2025, after a $500m Jiangxi Copper prepayment and an earlier $1bn Royal Gold stream eased balance-sheet pressure.
First Quantum Minerals agreed on 5 August 2025 to a $1bn gold stream with Royal Gold referenced to copper production at its Kansanshi mine in Zambia, providing non-dilutive funding as it expands the operation.
