Copper output at Chile's Codelco set to rise this year, CESCO says
Chile's state-run copper miner Codelco is poised to improve production this year and begin to climb from its lowest dip in a quarter century, the head of Chilean copper studies center CESCO said ahead of a major industry conference that starts Monday.
Codelco is aiming to produce between 1.325-million and 1.390-million metric tons of copper this year, a target that at best would see it lightly overtake its 2023 output of 1.325-million metric tons.
