IGO下调西澳大利亚锂矿锂辉石产量预期

IGO（ASX：IGO）周五向澳大利亚证券交易所提交的文件显示，该公司将西澳大利亚格林布什锂矿2026财年的锂辉石产量预期下调至138万吨至143万吨，反映了年初至今的业绩表现以及对CGP3装置6月份季度产能提升的预期。此前的产量预期为150万吨至170万吨。由于产量下降，单位现金成本预期从之前的每吨310澳元至360澳元上调至每吨380澳元至420澳元。该矿3月份季度的产量环比下滑至35.1万吨，其中包括CGP3装置的约3.3万吨产量。运营绩效在品位、选矿厂回收率以及维护停机时间增加等方面均有所下降。该公司本季度销售收入增长45%，达到1.197亿澳元，主要原因是本季度镍销量和实际售价均有所提高。
