Freeport looks to further expand Morenci mine production

The Vancouver-based gold miner said it expects gold production at Bibiani to exceed 15,000 oz. per month by mid-year.

Environmentalists as well as mining companies had raised concerns over risks from leaving the copper on site.

Heeren, the current CEO of Anglo American in Peru, will start his new role on February 1, 2025.

The joint venture will buy and sell copper domestically and for export, and over time will take responsibility for trading Zambia’s share of copper output from mines.
