Total copper production came in at 239,700 tonnes from 244,100 a year earlier.
Annual full-year production forecasts were left unchanged. Glencore said it now expects full-year marketing earnings before interest and tax of $3bn - $3.5bn, near the top-end of its long-term $2.2bn - $3.2bn annual forecast range.
