Group 1 - Global copper mine production is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2.9% over the next decade, increasing from 23.8 million tons in 2025 to 30.9 million tons by 2034, driven by new projects and expansions due to high copper prices and positive demand outlook [1] - In 2023, global copper mine production is projected to increase by 2.5%, supported by recovery in Chilean output and increased production from Mongolia's Oyu Tolgoi mine, with Peru, Russia, and Zambia also contributing significantly [1] - Global copper production increased by 2% year-on-year during the first four months of this year, attributed to output increases from Peru's Las Bambas, Quellaveco, and Toromocho mines, as well as the Kamoa-Kakula mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo [1] Group 2 - The production growth forecast for 2025 has been revised downwards due to a decrease in production guidance from Kamoa-Kakula, which has been affected by seismic activity, although many companies, including Codelco, remain optimistic about the outlook [2] - Chile is expected to maintain its dominance in the copper supply chain, with production projected to grow by 3% to 5.7 million tons in 2025, accounting for a quarter of global mine production [2] - The increase in Chilean production is largely driven by the ongoing ramp-up at Teck's Quebrada Blanca mine, which is expected to offset challenges faced by state-owned Codelco [3] Group 3 - The Democratic Republic of Congo's production is also expected to grow by 3%, but there are downside risks due to the downward revision of Kamoa-Kakula's production guidance [4] - Peru's production is projected to increase by 3.2%, rebounding after a 1% decline in 2024 [4]
