What the source reported
Source-reportedChile's Codelco is investigating new evidence of over-reported copper production in 2024 and 2025, the State-run miner said on Tuesday, a probe that could further stoke industry concerns about the reliability of the firm's production figures as it struggles to lift output. The reported figures showed artificially inflated output from the Ministro Hales and Salvador divisions during those years, potentially due to both mines claiming the same production, it added.
