This smelter feed may be derived from ore, concentrates, copper precipitates or matte (primary), and/or scrap (secondary). 2/Argentina presumably produces some smelter copper utilizing its own small mine output together with domestically produced cement copper and possibly using other raw materials including scrap, but the levels of such output cannot be reliably estimated. 3/Data may be for year beginning Mar. 21 of that year stated. Only estimated production data are available. Secondary production is estimated to be about 5% of total. 4/Copper content of impure bars and electrolytic copper. 5/Data are compiled from operating company reports of Tsumeb Corp. Ltd., General Mining and Finance Corp. Ltd. for Klein Aub Koper Maatskappy Ltd. mine near Rehobeth, and Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. for Oamites Mining Co. (Pty.) Ltd. Oamites Mine. Data for General Mining and Finance Corp. Ltd. are for fiscal years ending June 30 of that stated, while data from other companies are for calendar years. ------------------------------- See footnotes at end of table. Table 13.--Copper world smelter production1/--Continued (Thousand metric tons) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6/Includes secondary. 7/Figures for U.S. primary smelter production may include a small amount of copper derived from precipitates shipped directly to the smelter for further processing; production derived from electrowinning and fire-refining is not included. Copper content of precipitation shipped directly to smelter are as follows, in metric tons: 1986--79,031; 1987--70,136; 1988--49,299; 1989--34,485; and 1990--19,817. 8/Data include refined copper plus exported blister and leach cathodes. 9/For fiscal year beginning Apr. 1 of year stated. Includes electrowon production reported less the quantity reported as "finished production, leach cathodes." 10/Refined figure; unrefined data not available. Includes production from low-grade electrowon cathodes produced in nickel processing.
