Antofagasta plc announced group production results for the first six months of the year 2022. Group copper production in the first six months of the year was 268,600 tonnes, 25.7% lower than in the same period last year mainly due to the expected temporary reduction in throughput at Los Pelambres as a result of the drought and the concentrate pipeline incident and expected lower grades at Centinela Concentrates. Throughput at Los Pelambres was 36.2% lower than in first half of 2021, and the grades at Centinela Concentrates were 25.4% lower.
