African Copper has reported an increase in processed ore to 89,727m tonnes in June from 77,625m the month before. The copper grade increased from 1.77% to 1.91% the previous month, while the recovery rate rose from 46.2% to 55.7%. The produced concentrate leapt from 2,735m tonnes to 4,319m tonnes, while copper produced in concentrate increased month on month from 635m tonnes to a record 955m tonnes on the back of good plant availability and utilisation. The firm said the improvements in production were achieved as higher recovery sulphide ore from the Thakadu mine was processed.
