Weatherly’s Tschudi mine output rises 21% q/q in Sept quarter

Copper cathode production at Aim-listed Weatherly International’s Tschudi mine, in Namibia, improved by 21% quarter-on-quarter to 4 105 t in the quarter ended September 30.  Tschudi C1 costs reduced by 15% to $5 402/t. “The company continues to experience lower-than-anticipated leach rates . . . and continues to compensate for this by exposing ore faster in the pit and stacking higher volumes of copper metal in ore, which together result in a higher C1 cost in the short to medium term,” the company said in a statement.
