    Armenia reduced ferromolybdenum production 8.7% year-on-year in
    January-September to 3,704 tonnes, the National Statistics Service

    Molybdenum concentrate production fell 4.7% to 6,320 tonnes.

    Copper concentrate production grew, by 18.2% year-on-year to 61,641
    tonnes. Converter copper production rose 7.6% to 5,198 tonnes but zinc
    concentrate production fell 27.5% to 4,203 tonnes.

    Armenia boosted aluminum foil production 78% year-on-year in
    January-September to 15,478 tonnes. The Yerevan-based RUSAL-Armenal
    plant, which is owned by Russian aluminum giant UC RUSAL, produced the
