Bull points
- As we've said, we do think that's going to be an extended shutdown now that will extend the first half of 2026. We haven't got a finalized capital number for that repair at this point in time because that assessment is ongoing. know importantly as we've said the work on the shiploader and the downtime of the shiploader is not impacting our production here as you'll recall previously we had in place trucking arrangements while we were awaiting the completion of the shiploader originally that was allowing us to move material to either smelters in Chile or to other ports in Chile we've just reactivated that and we have that truck in place operating daily so no production constraints and that's allowed us to to minimize any buildup and inventory of the port.
- we will publish a technical report. We expect that to happen in August of this year. And, of course, you'll get all the detail associated with that.
- you know, just below 100,000 tons. This year, of course, that production guidance is materially higher, you know, in the sort of 140, 150 range.
Bear points
- Copper production remained similar to the same period last year at 109,000 tons. At QB, no online time was impacted by the TMF development work required to complete the wrap-up of the operation as expected.
- At QB, we had previously noted that we would be at the lower end of our guidance of around 230,000 tons for the year. While the team is working hard to achieve this, we acknowledge that there could be risk from possible external factors or, of course, any delay from the TMF development work. As a result, we've revised our outlook for QB to 210,000 to 230,000 tons for the year, but continue to target design rates by year end.
- The outage of the shiploader at QB's port facility announced on June 2nd is expected to be extended into the first half of 2026.
