Taseko Mines Ltd - North America-focused mining company - Says its Gibraltar mine produced 34 million pounds of copper and 369,000 pounds of molybdenum in the fourth quarter of 2023. Copper sales volumes reached 36 million pounds. Company says production was supported by strong 0.27% copper grades. Mill throughput averaged 83,000 tonnes per day and was affected by extra downtime needed for maintenance and monitoring.
