Copper Range Company was an American mining enterprise engaged in copper extraction primarily in Michigan and other United States mining districts. The company operated underground mines, concentrators, and associated smelting facilities to supply refined copper to domestic industries. Integrated rail and port logistics enabled efficient transportation of copper products to national markets. Over time, Copper Range Company diversified its industrial interests while maintaining a core focus on mineral resource development. The company contributed significantly to sustaining copper production in key United States mining regions.

Copper Range Company was incorporated in 1901 to develop copper properties in Michigan. The company invested in underground mining and ore processing infrastructure.

In 1933, it reorganized during the Great Depression to stabilize operations and continue copper production in the Lake Superior region.

By 1977, the company ceased major mining operations, concluding decades of participation in United States copper production.
