How much is that on its interests?

copper: 663,200 tonnes of content across 2 operations, about 2.9% of world output. Periods differ by operation (CY2025). At least one whole-operation figure is derived from an owner's share; see that operation's page.
zinc: 117,000 tonnes of content across 1 operation, about 0.9% of world output. Periods differ by operation (CY2025).

Computed as each operation's whole-operation output in metal content multiplied by the interest shown. Operations whose output is stated in another form, or only as the owner's share, are left out of this sum, so it understates what the company controls.
