KGHM Polska Miedź reported Sierra Gorda’s August molybdenum output at 0.1 million lb (about 45 tonnes) on its 55% attributable basis, down 90% YoY. The decline reflected lower molybdenum grade, recovery and ore throughput. Jan–Aug output fell 38.2% to 2.1 million lb (about 953 tonnes), from 3.4 million lb (about 1,542 tonnes). Despite a 6% rise in August copper output, molybdenum production declined sharply, highlighting diverging by-product performance caused by ore characteristics.
