Operational Highlights:
- Record second quarter mined metal production driven by higher ore production
- Refined metal production increase driven by additional capacity from debottlenecking projects at Chanderiya & Dariba and 160 ktpa roaster at Debari
- Silver production increase in line with production plan
- Wind power generation increase attributed to wind velocity and weather patterns
- Sixth consecutive year of record first-half mined metal production
- Highest ever first half refined metal production achieved
