Metro Mining (ASX: MMI) is pleased to provide production and shipping results for July 2020.

July mining was slightly ahead of budget and in line with performance achieved year to date. Shipping was marginally down due to two days lost as a result of a belt replacement on the barge loading facility and some downtime as a result of unusually high swell conditions for this time of year. Compared with the same time last year Metro exceeded on its shipping and recorded an increase of 31%.

Metro Mining Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Simon Finnis, said: 'Operational performance remains solid and I commend the team on site for remaining committed to outstanding performance whilst ensuring safety remains at the forefront during these unprecedented and unsettling times. '
