How the Company Makes MoneyKGHM generates revenue primarily through the sale of copper and silver, which are its core products. The company extracts copper from its mining operations and refines it into various forms, including cathodes and wire rods, which are sold to manufacturers and other industries. In addition to copper, KGHM also profits from the sale of silver, which is extracted as a byproduct during the copper refining process. The company benefits from fluctuating global commodity prices, which can significantly impact its revenue. Furthermore, KGHM has established strategic partnerships and joint ventures that enhance its operational efficiency and market reach, contributing to its overall earnings. The diversification into other metals and minerals also provides additional revenue streams, reinforcing its financial stability.
