Nornickel's total copper production in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 18.8% year-on-year
In the first quarter of 2023, the total production of Nornickel copper (including the Bystrinsky copper mine project) was 109000 tons, an increase of 18.8% year-on-year. All production was self-sufficient in raw materials, mainly due to the low base in the first quarter of 2022, when a furnace at Norilsk copper plant underwent regular maintenance and repair.
The production target for 2023 remains unchanged at 417-441000 tons.
