Armenia reduced converter copper production 7.5% in 2008 to 5,945
tonnes, the National Statistics Service said.
Ferromolybdenum production fell 10.7% to 4,910 tonnes.
Zinc concentrate production grew, by 63.3% to 7,467 tonnes, molybdenum
concentrate was up 4% to 7,996 tonnes, and copper concentrate rose 5.6%
to 65,137 tonnes.
Aluminum foil production by the RUSAL-Armenal foil mill fell for
the first time, by 9.2% to 10,210 tonnes due, the company said, to
raw material and input supply disruptions caused by the conflict in
South Ossetia in August. Aluminum roll production at RUSAL-Armenal
soared 470% to 185.7 tonnes.
RUSAL-Armenal, which was shut down for an overhaul in 2004-2006, had
planned to achieve design capacity of 25,000 tonnes of foil annually
by the end of 2008.
