[Ferro-Alloys.com]In the the third quarter ended 30 September 2014, Nickel production of Anglo American plc increased by 13% to 10,700 tonnes driven by continued improved operational stability at Barro Alto prior to the planned rebuild of the two furnaces, with the first commencing at the beginning of October.

Production from Barro Alto increased by 17% to 8,300 tonnes, reflecting this continued operational stability as well as the impact of the Q3 2013 unplanned stoppages. The line 2 furnace rebuild is under way and is scheduled for completion in Q2 2015.

Production from Codemin remained broadly flat at 2,400 tonnes.

Full-year production guidance for nickel has increased to 35,000 - 37,000 tonnes (previously 32,000 – 35,000 tonnes).
