Ivanhoe's Kipushi achieves record monthly zinc in concentrate output
The concentrators milled a record 72 003 t of ore at an average recovery of 93%, with an average plant feed grade of 36.2% zinc.
May's output takes year-to-date output at Kipushi to 110 000 t of zinc. Annualised, this is equivalent to about the mid-point of the 2026 production guidance range of 240 000 t to 290 000 t of zinc.
Meanwhile, construction of the Kipushi mine's second tailings storage facility (TSF) is over 90% complete, with the first deposit of tailings expected from October. Lining of the new TSF's paddock 2B extension, along with the existing TSF, is designed to be compliant with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management.
