• Revenue rose 37% quarter over quarter to USD 2.1 billion; EBITDA more than doubled to USD 844 million as copper hedges expired.
• Copper C1 cost guidance increased to USD 2.50–2.65 per pound, reflecting higher diesel costs and a stronger Zambian kwacha.
• Management awaits authorization for Cobre Panamá restart negotiations following ministerial recommendations; earthquake relief remains the government’s immediate priority.
• A full restart would require another USD 250 million; reaching roughly 80% capacity would take six to nine months following authorization.
