Europe-focused copper producer Atalaya Mining is on track to ramp-up output at its Proyecto Riotinto project, in Andalucía, Spain, aiming to produce between 23 500 and 27 000 t of red metal by year-end.
Since declaring commercial production at the brownfields project (which gave global conglomerate Rio Tinto its name) in February, the ramp-up process progressed according to plan the company advised Wednesday, despite minor hiccups involved with expanding project capacity.
