Ivanhoe Mines released its 2025 production results and 2026 guidance, confirming that the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex in the DRC produced 388,838 tonnes of copper in concentrate in 2025, meeting its full-year guidance. Ivanhoe reaffirmed previously issued 2026 copper production guidance of 380,000–420,000 tonnes. Ramp-up of the on-site smelter is progressing as planned, with 99.7%-pure copper anode output already averaging around 500 tonnes per day and first exports expected imminently. By-product sulphuric acid production is also underway, supporting future margin expansion. At the Kipushi zinc mine, 2025 production reached a record 203,168 tonnes of zinc in concentrate, achieving guidance, while 2026 zinc production guidance has been set at 240,000–290,000 tonnes.
