Greg Hanna

Founder & CEO, Destiny Copper

Greg is rewriting the rules of copper mining with an innovative, low-cost, modular, cleantech hydro-metallurgical Copper extraction system – a breakthrough technology that could change the way copper is produced globally. By eliminating the need for traditional Solvent Extraction – Electro Winning (SX-EW) concentrators and smelters, Greg has reduced energy consumption by an astounding 90% and CO2 emissions by up to 1.4 tonnes per tonne of copper output. His commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there—Greg’s team has successfully repurposed 50,000 liters of Chilean gold mine waste into a 3D-printed heat sink for electric vehicles, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in resource efficiency. With a new commercial order for high-purity copper powder destined for EV batteries, Greg’s vision for a more sustainable, electrified future is speeding down the highway to realization!
