Description

Gunnison Copper Corp Chief Operating Officer Robert Winton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major strategic collaboration between Rio Tinto and Amazon Web Services (AWS), marking a significant milestone for Nuton® Technology. Under the agreement, AWS will become the first customer for Nuton copper following the successful first industrial-scale deployment of the innovative bioleaching technology at Gunnison Copper’s Johnson Camp copper mine in the United States last month. Winton explained that the agreement positions AWS as both an offtake partner and a technology collaborator. AWS will utilize the first Nuton-produced copper in components for its U.S.-based data centers, while also providing cloud-based data, analytics, and digital infrastructure to help accelerate the optimization and scaling of Nuton’s proprietary bioleaching process at the Johnson Camp Mine. Copper is a critical material for data center infrastructure, with applications ranging from electrical cabling and busbars to transformer and motor windings, printed circuit boards, and processor heat sinks. Through this partnership, Nuton is leveraging AWS platforms to simulate heap-leach performance and integrate advanced analytics into its decision-support systems. This digital approach enables more efficient acid and water usage while improving predictive models for copper recovery and overall operational performance. Nuton’s modular bioleaching system extracts copper from primary sulphide material using naturally occurring microorganisms. The modular design, combined with advanced digital tools, allows the technology to be rapidly scaled and tailored to different mineralized bodies, significantly reducing the time from concept to commercial production. The process produces 99.99% pure copper cathode directly at the mine gate, eliminating the need for traditional concentrators, smelters, and refineries, and dramatically shortening the mine-to-market supply chain. Winton noted that the collaboration with AWS and Nuton represents a fundamentally different and more sustainable approach to copper production. By reducing carbon emissions, lowering water consumption, and producing high-purity copper close to end users, the partnership supports both supply chain resilience and decarbonization objectives. As AWS continues to invest in next-generation, carbon-free energy technologies and expand its data center footprint, access to lower-carbon, domestically produced copper strengthens its ability to scale responsibly while supporting innovation across critical infrastructure. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf r #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #MiningInvestment #CommodityMarkets #CopperProduction #ArizonaMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CopperDemand #MetalsAndMining #AmazonWebServices#DataCenterInfrastructure#USMining#CriticalMinerals#Nuton#RioTinto
