On the outlook for copper, WMC aid with announced global production cuts of around 700,000 tons a year, analysts forecast supply and demand to be close to balance in 2002. The miner added that Olympic Dam is also continuing to see strong demand from customers in Australia and Asia. Turning to its nickel operations, WMC said output for the quarter rose across the board, following the recommissioning of the Kalgoorlie nickel smelter in Western Australia. Production at the smelter, which operated at 95 percent of the normal throughput rates for the quarter, was affected in the March quarter after a fire broke out in late February. WMC said the smelter operated at an equivalent annual rate of 100,000 tons during the quarter.
