Production highlights
- The proactive production cuts announced and actioned in 2015 led to period on period
production reductions in copper, zinc, lead, coal and oil, reflecting our disciplined
approach to supply at low points in the commodity cycle.
- Copper production from own sources of 335,000 tonnes was 4% down on Q1 2015,
reflecting the suspensions / reductions in Africa, partly offset by increased production
from South America.
- Zinc production from own sources of 257,100 tonnes was 28% down, reflecting the
announced reductions in Australia, Peru and Kazakhstan.
- Nickel production from own sources of 27,600 tonnes was 16% up, reflecting a higher mix
of own feed treated at Nikkelverk and a strong performance at Murrin Murrin.
- Coal production of 29.7 million tonnes was 5.9 million tonnes (17%) down, mainly due to
loss of control of Optimum Coal from August 2015. In Colombia, some mining restrictions
also contributed.
- Agricultural Products’ crush volumes were up 1.2 million tonnes (89%), due to improved
macro-economic conditions in Argentina and the acquisitions in 2015 of the Becancour
(Canada) and Warden (USA) plants.
- Full year 2016 production guidance is unchanged, except for E&P Oil where reductions in
the drilling campaign have led to a 0.3 million bbl reduction compared to previous
guidance.
- Marketing EBIT guidance range for 2016 unchanged at $2.4-2.7 billion.
