Norilsk Nickel's nickel production for 2021 decreased by 18% to 193,006 thousand tonnes. Copper production decreased by 16% to 406,841 thousand tonnes. Production of palladium decreased by 7% to 2,616 thousand ounces. Platinum production was 641 thousand ounces, down 8%. The decrease in production was caused by the temporary suspension and subsequent rehabilitation works at the Oktyabrsky and Taimyrsky mines, as well as at the Norilsk Concentrator. The assets have now been restored and are operating at full capacity.
