BEIJING, April 1: China’s state-backed mining and metals firm MCC Group said on Tuesday that its Pakistani Dapua copper project would start production in the first quarter of 2009.
Group’s vice president Wang Yongguang also told reporters MCC was expected to bring its Papua New Guinea nickel and cobalt mine into commercial production early next year.
