Poland's KGHM, one of the world's biggest copper and silver producers, said on Thursday while there was a risk of closing some mines or smelters due to Covid-19 infections among workers, overall production would continue.
KGHM owns mines and smelters in Poland, as well as mines in Chile, Canada and the US.
"Our business is naturally diversified. We have not one mine, but a few mines and thus we take into account that there might be a break in production in some of the mines. But during that time the remaining mines will be working. This means that it is actually impossible that the whole mining and smelter production will stop," said Katarzyna Kreczmanska-Gigol, KGHM CFO.
