Chilean copper miner Antofagasta reported on July 15 that its Q2 copper production edged down, reiterated its full-year production guidance, and expects stronger H2 output to drive achievement of the full-year target. In the three months to June 30, the company produced 142,000 mt of copper, down 0.7% QoQ, as a decline in output at the Antucoya mine offset performance at other mines. Q2 net cash cost climbed nearly 26% QoQ to $1.36 per pound.
