Glencore guiding higher ferrochrome, nickel output

Diversified mining and marketing company Glencore on Thursday guided higher 2016 ferrochrome and nickel production – the only two commodities it expects to produce at levels higher than in 2015. Reporting lower half-year production of copper, zinc, lead, coal and oil than in the first six months of 2015, the London-, Hong Kong- and Johannesburg-listed company headed by CEO Ivan Glasenberg put this year’s expected full-year ferrochrome production at 1 575 000 t – up on the 1 462 000 t of 2015.
