The company, a subsidiary of Billiton, owns or has interests in producing mines in Argentina (copper, gold), British Columbia (coal, copper, molybdenum), the Canadian Arctic (zinc, lead), Chile (copper), and Wyoming (uranium). It also owns or has interests in undeveloped copper and zinc mines in Chile, Peru, and Wisconsin.
