Glencore backed its full-year copper, zinc and coal production guidance even as output declined in both metals in the first nine months of the year, while lowering full-year targets for nickel and ferrochrome after steep drops in production.

The Anglo-Swiss commodity mining and trading company said Monday that it produced 735,800 metric tons of copper in the year to the end of September, a 5% fall from 770,500 tons in same period a year prior, due to the sale of its Cobar mine in Australia in June and lower copper by-product production outside the copper department.

Zinc volumes fell 4% to 672,100 tons, while nickel and ferrochrome production dropped sharply by 16% and 21% to 68,400 tons and 873,000 tons, respectively.

Coal production rose 2% to 83.9 million tons from 81.9 million tons a year prior.

The FTSE 100-listed company backed its full-year target for copper and zinc, while lowering its forecast for nickel to 102,000 tons from 112,000 tons and guidance for ferrochrome to 1,200 tons from 1,310 tons.
