[South32 releases Q3 2026 production] On October 19, South32 released its Q3 2026 report, which showed that Cannington zinc concentrates production for the quarter was 8,800 mt, down 23% QoQ, due to a temporary reduction in the availability of paste fill material, which delayed access to planned mining areas and resulted in lower mined volumes and grades.
