Metro Mining published production and shipping results for the month of April. The company said this has been the best start to the year for both mining and shipping.
Metro Mining produced 415,000 wet metric tonnes (WMT) of bauxite and shipped 245,000 wet metric tonnes (WMT) at the Bauxite Hills Mine in April. The company is on track to meet the production and shipping guidance of 900,000 WMT to 1.1 million WMT for June quarter.

The strong April results are attributable to greater experience and continuity of workforce, recent upgrades to plant and equipment and favourable weather conditions, Metro Mining said.
Metro Mining Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Finnis, said, “This is a very pleasing start for 2020. We have had a seamless transition back into operations and as a result have been able to build significant stockpiles at the Port, positioning the project for continued strong operational performance. The team has responded well to the additional procedures required as a result of COVID-19 and that is clear in the results we have achieved.“
