At FQM Trident, success is not just measured in tons of copper and nickel – it is reflected in the dedication, skill, and resilience of its people. From the copper pits of Sentinel Mine to the emerging nickel fields of Enterprise Mine, it is the workforce that continues to drive growth, innovation, and impact.

In 2024, Sentinel Copper Mine produced an impressive 231,000 tons of copper, a target the company aims to match in 2025. Meanwhile, the newly commissioned Enterprise Nickel Mine is steadily ramping up, with a goal of producing up to 25,000 tons of nickel this year. These achievements are more than operational milestones; they reflect the hard work and expertise of the people who power Trident’s success: over 4,300 directly employed and an additional 5,700 through contractors.

What stands out is not just the size of the workforce, but its diversity and local roots. Ninety-six percent of FQM Trident’s employees are Zambian, underscoring the company’s role as a vital engine of employment and community upliftment.

This local-first approach is matched by ongoing investment in skills development and career growth. Training programs, mentorship, and upskilling initiatives are helping employees reach their full potential both on the job and in their communities.

As global demand for critical minerals continues to rise—driven by clean energy, electric vehicles, and modern infrastructure, FQM Trident is positioning itself to meet the challenge through innovation, efficiency, and a deep commitment to sustainability. Nevertheless, at the heart of this forward-looking strategy remains one constant: the people behind the progress.

At FQM Trident, it is the people on the ground those solving problems, learning new skills, and showing up every day who keep things moving. They are not just part of the story; they are the story.
