LONDON, July 24, 2024 – Tempestas Holdings Limited and its affiliated companies (collectively “Tempestas”), a leading global copper resource provider, today announced the signing of two significant copper delivery forward agreements with WRA Environmental Engineering, Inc. (“WRA”), totaling $800 million.
The agreements, each valued at $400 million, establish a long-term strategic partnership between Tempestas and WRA, securing WRA’s access to high-quality refined copper from Tempestas’s global mining operations.
Key details of the agreements include:
- A 7-year agreement for copper delivery on July 24, 2031
- A 10-year agreement for copper delivery on July 24, 2034
Andrew Paul, CEO of Tempestas Holdings Limited, commented, “These forward agreements represent a significant milestone in Tempestas’s global growth strategy. This partnership with WRA underscores the strength of our copper assets and our position as a leading global provider of this essential resource. We’re excited about the long-term value this collaboration will bring to both companies and the industries we serve.”
Cornel Alvarado, CEO of WRA Environmental Engineering Inc. says, “Securing an asset like copper through forward contracts, with Tempestas, is visionary and budget concise, because copper is a scarce resource that will likely be priced much higher over the build period for these infrastructure changes. Locking in this value now is key to controlling the budgeting for these multi-year projects in the region.”
The agreements highlight Tempestas’s capability to meet the growing global demand for copper across various industries, including renewable energy and electric vehicles. As a global resource provider, Tempestas is well-positioned to support the world’s transition to a more sustainable future.
Tempestas remains committed to responsible resource development on a global scale and looks forward to a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership with WRA Environmental Engineering, Inc.
