High winds and torrential rain led to the loss of 2,500 metric tons of copper production at Antofagasta's Los Pelambres mine in Chile last week but the facility remains on course to produce 330,000 tons of payable copper in concentrates in 2002, deputy chairman Jena-Paul Luksic said at the company's annual general meeting. Due to the high altitude of the plant, disruptions to output as a result of adverse weather conditions had been anticipated by the company and factored into original production estimates, Luksic was quoted saying in a press release. Continued improvements to the operation is expected to lead to an increase in daily ore throughput to an average of 112,000 tons per day rising to 120,000 tons/day in 2003. Production at the company's El Tesoro plant has increased to 85,000 tons of copper cathodes per year, a level which is expected to be maintained until the end of the year. Cash costs at El Tesoro remain under 40 cents a pound.
