TSX-listed Ero Copper announces that the Tucumã operation, located in Pará state, Brazil, achieved commercial production, effective July 1.

During the month of June, following the completion of commissioning of the third filter press, as well as modifications to the process plant, the operation achieved sustained throughput levels exceeding 75% of design capacity.

“The achievement of commercial production at Tucumã reflects the resilience of our organisation over the past several months,” says CEO and president Makko DeFilippo.

“We have worked diligently to improve performance at Tucumã, completing necessary repairs and modifications to the process plant to achieve and maintain performance targets.

“As we move through the balance of 2025, we are focused on delivering safe, consistent production growth, generating strong free cash flows and investing in the future growth potential we see in the Furnas project.”

Copper production at Tucumã totalled about 6 400 t during the second quarter, including about 2 000 t of copper produced during the second half of June.

Metallurgical recovery rates and copper concentrate grades have continued to meet or exceed design targets, Ero Copper says.

The company expects plant throughput volumes to continue increasing through year-end, supporting sequential growth in copper production during the second half of the year.

Ero Copper’s primary asset is a 99.6% interest in Brazilian copper mining company Mineração Caraíba, the owner of its Caraíba operations, which are located in the Curaçá Valley, Bahia state, Brazil, and the Tucumã operation.
