(1) Recognized at the settlement price or the LME copper price at the end of the respective period.
(2) The provisional adjustment reflects the settlement or provisional price adjustment of prior period copper sales; therefore the sum of the periods will not equal the year to date.
(3) Copper sold or produced does not include tonnes sold or produced prior to achieving commercial production.
(4) For the definition of cash and total costs, reference should be made to the regulatory disclosures section.
