Notes on year-on-year comparison

Copper
  • Total refined copper production will be almost the same year-on-year. Production will decrease approximately 5% at Naoshima Smelter and Refinery, where production will be down coming March due to a periodic maintenance shutdown. Production will increase approximately 11% at Onahama Smelter and Refinery.
Gold/Silver
  • Refined gold production will increase due to the higher volume of Naoshima slime and Gresik slime.
  • Refined silver production will decrease due to the lower silver grade in the slimes.
