Serbian company RTB Bor expects fivefold output growth from its Majdanpek open pit copper mine in the country this year on the back of upgraded excavation machinery, SeeNews reported Dec. 4, citing a company newsletter.
The company produced about 1.6 million tonnes of copper ore and 2.7 million tonnes of tailings in November, the highest monthly record in the last 10 years, while copper concentrate output stood at 4,000 tonnes in the same month.
