Capstone Copper Corp. reported consolidated production results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. First quarter 2025 consolidated production of 53,796 tonnes of copper was 28% higher than 42,121 tonnes in first quarter 2024, mainly driven by increased copper production from the sulphide business.
First quarter 2025 sulphide production of 45,950 tonnes of copper in concentrate was 49% higher than 30,841 tonnes in first quarter 2024. This was mainly due to the commencement of sulphide production at Mantoverde and higher sulphide production at Mantos Blancos following the successful ramp-up of the concentrator, both in the second half of 2024, partially offset by lower production at Pinto Valley on lower copper grades and recoveries and slightly lower throughput as a result of maintenance. Mantoverde sulphides produced 16,268 tonnes of copper at C1 cash costs of $1.53/lb in first quarter 2025.
