First Quarter 2015 Production Report
- Own sourced copper production down 9% to 350,700 tonnes, reflecting grade reductions at
Alumbrera and Antamina due to mine sequencing and a planned maintenance shutdown at
Collahuasi.
- Own sourced zinc production up 16% to 356,200 tonnes, driven by the expansions at Lady Loretta
(Mount Isa) and McArthur River. Some temporary plant downtime at McArthur River and lower grades
at Kazzinc, Matagami and Rosh Pinah resulted, however, in an 8% decline on a quarterly sequential
basis.
- Own sourced nickel production was 23,800 tonnes, up 7% relating to the higher contribution from
Koniambo. Production issues at Koniambo, however, resulted in sequential quarterly production being
down 8%.
- Attributable ferrochrome production up 15% to 385,000 tonnes, driven by the Lion 2 expansion
project.
- Own sourced coal production was 35.6 million tonnes, 4% higher than the comparable period due to
higher production from South Africa where two new projects were since commissioned.
- Glencore oil entitlement production up 52% to 2.6 million barrels, reflecting the ramp-up at Badila and
Mangara and the impact of higher ownership of the Chad assets following the Caracal acquisition in
July 2014.
- Overall Q1 2015 copper equivalent production was up 7% compared to Q1 2014 and sequentially in
line with Q4 2014.
