Glencore is facing a key turning point in Canada, which could reshape the copper supply chain in North America. The company had previously stated that if it cannot obtain regulatory concessions, it may close the Horne smelter. Currently, the federal and Quebec provincial governments are taking measures to maintain the operation of the plant. Located in Rouyn-Noranda, this factory processes copper concentrate and recyclable materials such as electronic waste. Following the breakdown of negotiations on stricter arsenic emission requirements, Glencore recently suspended its plans to invest nearly 1 billion Canadian dollars in its Quebec copper business.
