Anglo American’s Q2 production up 20% driven by diamonds, platinum

Global miner Anglo American AAL.L said on Tuesday its production rose by 20% in the second quarter, driven by strong output in diamonds and platinum, even as operations were running at 95% of normal capacity because of COVID-19 disruptions.

In the three months to June rough diamond production rose by 134% compared to the same period a year ago as consumer demand recovered, while platinum group metals production at its South African unit Anglo American Platinum AMSJ.J increased by 59% to 1.06 million ounces.

Copper production rose by 2% to 170,000 tonnes, it said.
