Glencore reports lower metals production in 2024
The company produced 951,600 tonnes of copper in 2024, down 6% from 1.01 million tonnes in 2023.
Chile’s economic activity rose 2.3% in May from the same month a year ago, the central bank said on Friday, as the top copper producer´s crucial mining sector continued to lag.
The IMACEC economic activity index encompasses about 90 percent of the economy tallied in gross domestic product figures.
Mining activity in May dropped 2.3% compared with the same month in 2018 as the sector continued to confront sharply falling ore grades at its largest deposits.
Non-mining activity grew by 2.8%, the bank said.
