Taseko Mines Reports Q2 Production Results Of 20M Pounds Of Copper And 185,000 Pounds Of Molybdenum
Taseko Mines Limited (TSX:TKO) (NYSE:TGB) (LSE: TKO) ("Taseko" or the "Company") announces second quarter production results of 20 million pounds of copper and 185,000 pounds of molybdenum.
Metal production in the second quarter was impacted by mill downtime for the relocation of the in-pit crusher and concurrent maintenance activities in concentrator #1, as well as a strike by the mine's unionized workforce in June. The in-pit crusher move was completed in late May but the final installation work and the other mill maintenance was interrupted by the 18-day strike in June. This work resumed following the strike, when contractors were able to return to site, and is now completed. Concentrator #1 has restarted and is in the process of ramping up to full capacity.
