Operational Performance

Mined metal production for the quarter was at 252kt, up 3.4% y-o-y and 9M was at 722kt, up 5.5% y-o-y. This was on account of higher ore production at Sindesar Khurd, Rampura Agucha & Zawar mines, improvement in recoveries partly offset by lower mining grade. Sequentially mined metal production grew by 1.4% mainly due to higher ore treatment at Kayad & Sindesar Khurd mines and improvement in recovery.

Integrated metal production was 261kt for the quarter, up 11% y-o-y & up 25% sequentially. This was supported by better plant & mined metal availability and improved operating parameters. Integrated zinc production was 214kt, up 17% y-o-y and up by 32% sequentially. Integrated lead production for the quarter remained flat sequentially at 47kt but was down 10% y-o-y on account of Pyro plant (CLZS) operations on Zinc-Lead mode compared to Lead mode only. Overall, for the nine-month period, metal production was 707kt up 5% y-o-y in line with better plant and mined metal availability

Integrated silver production was 173 MT, down 5% y-o-y in line with lead production & up 14% sequentially due to depletion of WIP. For the nine-month period, silver production was 4% lower y-o-y to 485 MT in line with the lower lead metal production and depletion of the Silver WIP.
