Operational DisruptionsQ3 copper production came in at 14.6Mbs, below our 16.6Mlbs estimate, due to a 10-day suspension of fresh tailing following the El Teniente accident, which lowered fresh tailing throughput.
Production ChallengesCopper produced came in lower than expectations due to reduced fresh tailings throughput.
Supply Chain IssuesMVC did not receive any fresh tailings for ~10 days, and throughput has yet to return to pre-incident levels.
