[MMG Q1 2026 Report Released] MMG released its Q1 2026 report. Its zinc ore production in the quarter was 50,200 mt, down 3% YoY. By mine, Dugald River's Q1 zinc concentrates production was 41,100 mt, basically flat YoY despite severe flooding and railway disruptions in January and February, thanks to higher throughput, recovery rates, and ongoing beneficiation plant optimization. Rosebery's Q1 zinc concentrates production was 9,100 mt, down 16% YoY, mainly attributable to lower zinc grade and a slight decline in recovery rates, in line with the planned mining sequence as operations advance into deeper areas of the ore body.
