It is Шаблон:Convert[1] long. It rises in Lac de Gras, a small lake near Great Slave Lake, and flows generally north to Coronation Gulf, an arm of the Arctic Ocean.

The river was named for the copper ores which are located along the river, by Samuel Hearne in 1771.[2] Hearne found only one lump of copper and commercial mining was not considered viable.[3]

It is the site of the Bloody Falls Massacre, when Matonabbee, Samuel Hearne's guide, and his fellow Chipewyan warriors ambushed and massacred the local Inuit.[4]
