Nevsun lifts Q3 copper output
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed Nevsun Resources has posted a 19% quarter-on quarter increase in copper production, delivering 56.4-million pounds of the yellow metal in the quarter ended September 30.
Cash costs at the group’s Bisha mine, in Eritrea, remained relatively flat, at $1.05/lb, while the company realised an average copper price over the period of
$298/lb.
Revenue slumped somewhat to $147.9-million in the three months ended September 30, from $169.2-million in the prior quarter, while net income also narrowed, from $53.7-million in the second quarter, to $44.6-million in the period under review.
Operating income decreased, from $94.9-million in the prior quarter, to $78.1-million in the period under review.
“The team has delivered another highly profitable quarter, earning shareholders $0.13 per share. These results leave the company in an even stronger position to execute its growth objectives,” commented president and CEO Cliff Davis.
