TOKYO, April 3 (Reuters) - Japan's second-largest copper
smelter, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd , said on Monday
it planned to produce 399,500 tonnes of refined copper in the
2023/24 financial year that started this month, down 10.6% from
a year earlier.
The decline comes as it plans to conduct a two-month
maintenance at its Toyo Smelter & Refinery in Ehime, western
Japan, between September and November, a company spokesperson
said.
Here are details of the company's output plan, compared with
actual production in the first half of 2022/23 and planned
production in the second half of 2022/23 as of Feb. 8.
