Copper production at Palabora Mining would fall 15 percent between last month and this month due to repair works at one of its copper units, the firm said yesterday. Cracks were discovered during inspection last week at one of its production winders, prompting the company to commence repair works, but the other winder was not affected and output continued normally at that facility, it added. - Reuters

Palabora produces about 80,000 tonnes of refined copper a year, according to its website, and has a refinery that produces continuous cast rod for the domestic market and cathodes for export.
