Mine metal production increased 10% QoQ (-13% YoY, strong base) to240kt. Zinc production rose 7% QoQ (-18% YoY) to 194kt, while lead production increased 21% QoQ/18% YoY to 46kt. Silver production growth was slower at 4% QoQ to 132t on WIP build-up. Reported CoP (ex-royalty) increased, on expected lines, by USD38/t QoQ toUSD1,022/t due to higher coke and coal cost, and grade mix. CoP is guided at USD950-975/t for FY18, implying some moderation in 4Q,driven by better grade and coal linkage. RAM underground and SK mines crossed their rated output of 2mt/4.5mtduring the quarter. Production through shafts at both the mines is on track to start from 3QFY19. Civil work at the Fumer project is 70% complete, with the project on track for commissioning by mid-FY19.
