South32 reports lower FY production for most commodities

Diversified miner South32 on Thursday reported an increase in production across most of its portfolio for the three months to June, compared with the previous quarter, but its full-year performance was lower for several commodities.

The Perth-headquartered group, which operates in Australia and South Africa, increased its alumina and aluminium production by 2% and 1% respectively in the June quarter, to 1.3-million tonnes and 248 000 t. The Mozal smelter, in Mozambique, and the South African aluminium refinery each delivered a 2% increase in output.
