Ivanhoe Mines' copper smelter in Africa reached 60% capacity in Q1 2026, producing 71,417 tonnes of copper and a record 65,044 tonnes of zinc at Kipushi. The Platreef Mine's Phase 1 ramp-up is on track for mid-year commercial production, with Phase 2 expansion starting soon. The smelter also produces high-strength sulphuric acid, benefiting from global supply disruptions. Ivanhoe expects copper anode production to exceed 500,000 tonnes annually from 2028, supported by ongoing mine development and infrastructure upgrades.
