Production at the Chilean mining giant Codelco, the world’s largest copper mining company, declined 9% year-on-year to 397 thousand tonnes in Q2 2022. The company said that its copper production was affected by a lower ore grade at the Ministro Hales mine, along with lower processing rates and copper recovery at the Chuquicamata and El Teniente divisions.

BHP Billiton is third with 313 thousand tonnes of copper mined in Q2 2022, up 14% compared to Q2 2021. The company said that in Q2 2022, it registered higher volumes at Escondida due to increased grade and concentrator throughput, at Spence due to improved leaching performance and at Olympic Dam following major smelter maintenance campaign impacts in the prior period.
