Copper cathode derived from electrowinning processing is also included. 2/Fiscal Year, begins Apr. 1 of year indicated. 3/May not include copper-nickel matte (copper content more than 6,000 metric tons per year) imported from Botswana for tolling refining in 1986-89. 4/Output of fire-refined copper by Messina (Transvaal) Development Corp. apparently was terminated in 1972. Refined copper output from that date include only electrolytic copper output by Corsyn Consolidated Mines as indicated in company annual reports.
