On April 29, Tibet Huayu Mining released its Q1 2026 production and operation data announcement. The report showed that in Q1 2026, zinc concentrates production totaled 2,070 mt in metal content, lead-antimony concentrates with silver content reached 1,489 mt in metal content, and gold concentrates reached 323.6 kg.

MMG Limited (MMG) has made a strong start to 2026, delivering solid first quarter production results and safety improvements.Total copper production, including copper in concentrate and cathode, increased nine per cent year-on-year to 128,698 tonnes. A result underpinned by robust performances at Las Bambas and Kinsevere. Precious metals production was also impressive, with gold output increasing by 24 per cent and silver by 27 per cent compared with the prior year period. Group precious metals production totalled 32,177 ounces of gold and 2,888,861 ounces of silver. Total zinc production was 50,263 tonnes, three per cent lower than the prior year.

First Quantum Minerals Ltd. announced its preliminary 2025 production results alongside production, cost and capital expenditure guidance for 2026–2028. The company produced approximately 396 kt of copper in 2025, within revised guidance, supported by the achievement of commercial production at the Kansanshi S3 expansion late in the year, while gold output reached 152 koz, exceeding the top end of guidance. Nickel production at Enterprise also surpassed expectations. Looking ahead, First Quantum slightly lowered copper and gold guidance for 2026–2027, mainly reflecting higher maintenance requirements and lower grades at Sentinel and Kansanshi, while nickel guidance remains unchanged. Unit copper costs and AISC are expected to be higher than previously guided, and 2026 capital expenditure has been revised upward due to deferred spending from 2025. The company also noted progress at Cobre Panamá, following the Panamanian government’s decision to allow the processing of stockpiled ore.

Endeavour Silver Corp. announced its consolidated production and cost guidance for 2026, covering the Terronera, Guanaceví and Kolpa mines. The company expects silver production to reach 8.3–8.9 million ounces in 2026, with gold output of 46,000–48,000 ounces from Terronera and Guanaceví. Including base-metal by-products from Kolpa, total silver-equivalent production is forecast at 14.6–15.6 million ounces. Consolidated cash costs are guided at US$12.00–13.00 per payable silver ounce, while all-in sustaining costs are estimated at US$27.00–28.00 per ounce. Management highlighted 2026 as a turning point, marking Terronera’s first full year of production and Kolpa’s full integration, positioning Endeavour as a larger and more diversified silver producer.

Hudbay Minerals Inc. announced preliminary 2025 production results, confirming that the company achieved its consolidated copper and gold production guidance despite wildfire-related shutdowns and temporary operational disruptions during the year. Full-year copper output reached approximately 118,188 tonnes, while gold production totaled about 267,934 ounces. Fourth-quarter performance was strong, with copper production of roughly 33,069 tonnes and gold production of around 84,298 ounces, supported by high-grade mining at the Pampacancha satellite deposit in Peru, which allowed Peru gold output to exceed the upper end of guidance. Following the closing of the Copper World joint venture, Hudbay’s pro-forma cash position increased to approximately US$992 million, with total available liquidity exceeding US$1.4 billion.

On January 6th, Newmont provided an update on the bushfires near its Boddington Mine in Western Australia, noting that the fires were contained on December 28, though ongoing monitoring will be required. No injuries were reported and critical infrastructure remained secure, although a portion of the site’s water supply infrastructure was damaged. Operations were suspended on December 24 and have since resumed. However, the processing plant is currently operating at 50–60% capacity until the main water supply is restored, which is expected by February. Newmont estimates an impact of approximately 60 koz of gold in Q1 2026, while 2025 production was not affected.
