Production in the second quarter of 2018 was 23.1 million pounds of copper equivalent (which includes 20 million pounds of copper, 6,500 ounces of gold and 68,400 ounces of silver), which was 13% higher than the second quarter of 2017 and in line with the first quarter of 2018. The Company expects production in the second half of the year to be stronger than the first half of the year, as production was marginally impacted in the second quarter by a reduction in mill throughput as a result of the replacement of two mill transformers and a SAG mill liner change.
During the Quarter, the Company accelerated the installation of two oil filled transformers for the SAG Mill, which are expected to be commissioned by the end of July 2018.
Mining activities continued from the Pit 2, Saddle and Pit 3 areas during the second quarter of 2018.now begun.
