LONDON (Reuters) - Global miner Anglo American (LON:AAL) said on Thursday its first-half copper production surged 42%, underpinned by the ramp-up of its Quellaveco mine operations in Peru.
Copper production rose to 387,000 metric tons in the first half, from 273,000 metric tons posted in the year-ago period, the miner said.
