Mining production recorded a slight increase of 0.6% month-on-month (m-o-m) in April 2025. This follows a larger uptick of 3.6% in March. Quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), assuming that the level of production in May and June remains at comparable levels to that of April 2025, Q2 2025 production looks set to increase by 1.6%. If realised, that would be a notable improvement given the large Q1 2025 decline of 4.1%.
