Chile’s Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, on Thursday posted a 65% drop in its pre-tax profit for the first nine months of the year, pulled down by lower production and higher operating costs.
The state-owned miner, whose credit rating was recently downgraded amid lower prices and copper output, added that copper production between January through September fell 9% to 966,000 tonnes. Core earnings over the nine month period totaled $3.24 billion, a 31% drop from the year-earlier period, while production costs spiked nearly 30% to reach $2.04 per pound.
The state copper producer announced earlier this month a leadership shakeup, just weeks after a new chief executive took office as the company takes a lead on negotiations with private lithium miners to increase state control over the industry.Vale to pay out $2 billion to shareholders, launch buyback programMine reclamation awards – Teck, Imperial, Centerra on top
