World’s top copper miner sees strong metal prices continuing for some time
Global No. 1 copper producer Chile’s Codelco said Friday its 2010 output dipped but should be steady this year, and expects strong Chinese demand, Japan’s recovery after a natural disaster, as well as new uses to stoke demand.
Codelco said profits surged 47 percent to $5.8 billion in 2010, with a rise in copper prices to record highs more than compensating for a 0.8 percent fall in production from 2009 to 1.688 million tonnes. [ID:nN08136598]
