  • Lundin Mining cut 2026 Caserones copper guidance to 120,000-130,000 tonnes following a second severe winter storm in Chile’s Atacama region.

  • Caserones cash cost guidance raised to USD 2.15-2.35 per lb from USD 2.05-2.25 per lb.
  • Consolidated 2026 copper guidance reduced to 300,000-325,000 tonnes; Candelaria still expected to meet its production guidance.
