Who we are

PEOPLE PLANET PROFIT

Big Tree Copper is leading a new generation of companies that subscribe to the United Nations Development Goals ethos by leveraging the principles of a circular economy, focusing on People, Planet and Profit. 

The company focuses on the restoration of the natural habitat in South Africa’s Northern Cape town of Nababeep, where twentieth century copper mining negatively impacted an ecologically sensitive environment. 

Through the development of its own technology, the firm has commenced recycling previously dumped or and mining waste to produce premium grade copper. This is done through a technologically advanced metallurgical process that delivers commercial viability while restoring the original landscape. 

Big Tree Copper is also philosophically bound to core principles of the United Nations Development Goals and, after launching operations in November 2021, plans to engage with the community in revitalising aspects the local socio-economic environment, decimated when mining operations ceased a decade ago, on a sustainable basis.
