The company attributes the high output mainly to good performance of the Northern System.
Carajás achieved a production record for a second quarter of 36.5 million tonnes in 2Q, representing an increase of 4.9 million tonnes (or 15.5%) in relation to 2015’s Q2, mainly due to the increase in the overall equipment efficiency of the truck fleet and the ramp-up of the N4WS and N5S extension pits.
Nickel, copper and gold all reached a record for a second quarter of 2016, while coal output fell both from 2016’s Q1 and 2015’s Q2 levels.
