The 55% lower production figures in 2016 compared to 2015 were driven by the partial suspension of production, which were aimed at improving MCM’s operations and cost reduction. Progress was made in the upgrading as MCM’s Synclinorium Shaft at Nkana was commissioned and started to hoist ore at the end of 2016.
