Copper concentrate production in the fourth quarter reached 2 697 t, which was up from the 2 310 t produced in the previous quarter, while zinc production reached 4 544 t, up from the 4 310 t produced in the previous quarter, and lead production reached 1 133 t, up slightly from the 1 117 t produced in the third quarter.
