Ivanhoe Mines reported 76,401 tonnes of copper in saleable products from its Kamoa-Kakula complex in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the third quarter of 2026. The company said the total included anode copper, toll-treated blister copper, slag concentrate and 6,904 tonnes of high-grade copper fines designated for sale; those fines had been produced and stockpiled earlier.

At the company’s Kipushi mine, zinc in concentrate reached a quarterly record of 77,147 tonnes, 10% above the previous quarter, Ivanhoe said. These are company-reported results for two named mines; the release did not present them as national output.
