Furthermore, recent (Dec 2023) suspension of the Cobre Panama Copper Mine will further reduce global supply by c. 1.3% based upon 2023 production Note: (1) 2009 to 2023 copper prices are actual LME Cash prices. 2024 to 2027 forecast prices are an average of LME Cash, Shanghai Futures Exchange and COMEX forecasts. 223#24Competent Persons Statement COPPER.
