Boliden’s third quarter: Strong quarter with high production
Boliden’s third quarter was characterised by high production levels, but the quarter on quarter profit was negatively affected by substantially lower metal prices. Sales during the period totalled SEK 12,510 m (11,628) and the operating profit before revaluation of process inventory was SEK 2,020 m (1,744).“It was a strong quarter, in spite of lower metal prices. Production was generally stable, although there were some disturbances. The new crusher at Aitik operated successfully, and this, coupled with high grades at Garpenberg, helped boost the profit,” says Boliden’s President and CEO,
