Copper production and gold production in the second quarter of 2025 were up versus the second quarter of 2024 on similar grades and recovery, reflecting the increase in throughput.
For the first six months of 2025, an increase in throughput, copper and gold grades, and copper and gold recoveries resulted in copper production being up 10.6 per cent and gold production up 8.3 per cent compared with the same period last year.
