Copper cathodes
Copper cathodes are used as a raw material feed for the production of high-purity copper and copper alloy products.
Continuous cast copper rods, which are subsequently utilized in the wire, cable, and transformer industries, are produced using copper cathodes. Additionally, they are employed in the production of copper tubes for consumer durable goods as well as other uses in the form of sheets and alloys.
Copper cathodes are certified as A-Grade cathodes on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and satisfy international quality standards like BS 6017 1981 (1989) and u-Cath-1 / ASTM B-115 (1999).

The Mount ISA electro-refining method is used to create copper cathodes, which are square plates that are 6 mm thick and have a copper purity level of 99.9%.
