If you’ve been following NASA’s Artemis II, you’re looking at a miracle of minerals. This 10-day mission sent four astronauts around the Moon and back—the first time humans have left Earth's orbit in over 50 years. 🚀

But did you know the road to the Moon is paved with copper? The rocket’s four main engines have to survive temperatures hotter than a volcano. To keep them from melting, engineers use copper alloys to line the inside of the engines.

It’s a great reminder that our future in the stars starts with the minerals we mine right here on Earth. 🌍

Mason Valley’s story has always been written in the soil. 🌱⛏️

From cattle on the range to the fields that earned the region its place as the harvest capital of the Copper Hills, the land has sustained generations. Beneath that same Nevada soil lies another vital resource—copper—deeply rooted in the valley’s history and essential to its future.

Today, copper helps power the tractors in our fields and the technology that supports modern farming. For generations, agriculture and mining have coexisted in Mason Valley. Hudbay is committed to honoring that shared history while responsibly developing copper resources that support local communities, innovation, and long-term sustainability.

Copper is hitting historic heights! 📈

With prices recently reaching an all-time high of $6.58/lb, the world is waking up to a reality we’ve seen coming: the transition to a high-tech, electrified future isn't possible without more copper. With the continued growth of EVs and the U.S. electrical grid, demand is outstripping supply.

The Mason Project can help secure a domestic supply chain for the critical minerals the U.S. needs most to stay competitive.
