Kaz Minerals said on Thursday its first-quarter copper production rose 4%, boosted by robust volumes at its Aktogay mine in Kazakhstan, while the miner maintained its output forecast for the year.
The company, which in February posted annual copper production of 295 000 t, kept its 2019 output unchanged at around 300 000 t, as it expects higher output from its Bozshakol mine and operations in the eastern part of the country.
