Glencore announced that has released it’s Q1 production report for 2018, detailing production in line with expectations and unchanged guidance. Own sourced copper production of 345,400 tonnes was 21,300 tonnes higher than Q1 2017, reflecting the commissioning of phase 1 of Katanga’s whole ore leach project in December 2017, partly offset by the impact of maintenance at the Mount Isa smelter and Alumbrera’s expected decline as it moves towards end of mine life.
