Anglo American records marginal hike in production

ANGLO American yesterday recorded a marginal 2 percent increase in production during the third quarter ending September 2021, saying it was on track to meet its full-year production guidance. Anglo, the globally diversified mining company, said operating levels were generally maintained at around 95 percent of normal capacity.

Chief executive Mark Cutifani attributed the increase in production to the planned higher rough diamond production at De Beers, higher production from the Minas-Rio iron ore operation in Brazil and improved plant performance at Kumba iron ore operations in South Africa.
