According to market news, Glencore's Altonorte smelter is expected to extend its maintenance plan until May, with the specific end date of the maintenance yet to be determined. The market is concerned that the maintenance will affect the production of copper cathode in South America, exacerbating the current tight supply situation of copper. In March 2025, the smelter suspended production due to issues with its furnace. The smelter is an important source of copper anode supply in Chile, with an annual smelting capacity of 350,000 mt.
