Shareholders rewarded Canadian copper producer Capstone Mining on Wednesday, pushing its TSX-listed stock up some 11% following the Vancouver-headquartered company reporting improved second-quarter production results.
Copper output rose 15% quarter-over-quarter in the three months ended June, hitting 24 000 t of red metal, compared with 20 900 t in the first quarter. That brings the year-to-date total to 44 900 t.
