First Quantum Minerals Ltd. has released preliminary production figures for 2025 and provided guidance for the years 2026 to 2028. The company reported annual copper production of 396 thousand tonnes in 2025, which is 35 thousand tonnes lower than 2024 but within the revised guidance range of 390 to 410 thousand tonnes. The Kansanshi operation saw a notable increase in output, producing 181 thousand tonnes of copper for the year, 10 thousand tonnes higher than in 2024, supported by the successful completion of the S3 Expansion project. In contrast, the Trident-Sentinel mine experienced a decrease in copper production to 189 thousand tonnes from 231 thousand tonnes in 2024, mainly due to lower ore grades and maintenance activities earlier in the year. Gold production reached 152 thousand ounces, up from 139 thousand ounces in 2024, while nickel production totaled 23 thousand tonnes, slightly below the previous year’s 24 thousand tonnes.
