「In the previous consolidated fiscal year, as part of the withdrawal from the Resources business, all shares held in the 2 operating companies for the Endeavor mine and 1 operating company for the Rasp mine, which had been consolidated subsidiaries, were transferred, and the companies were excluded from the scope of consolidation. Accordingly, the Resources segment was removed from the reportable segments from the interim consolidated accounting period.」
The company moved from the stage of pursuing achievement of the production plan and cost reduction in the Resources business to the stage where the operational-improvement theme itself ended through the sale of the mines and discontinuation of the Resources segment. - FY2025ReframedAnnual report

「Although crude ore production declined from the previous fiscal year, concentrate production increased year on year due to improved ore grades, meaning the proportion of valuable metals such as zinc and lead.」
At the Rasp mine, crude ore production was reduced while ore grades improved, resulting in a year-on-year increase in concentrate production. - FY2022-Q3RestatedAnnual report
「Because the Australian Rasp mine changed to reduced production from the third quarter of 2020, crude ore production declined year on year, but improved ore grades reduced unit production costs for concentrate.」

「At CBH Co.'s Rasp mine, operations changed from July 2020 to an optimized production structure involving a production cut of approximately 30% to improve economic viability.」
At the Rasp mine, operations changed to a production-cut structure involving a reduction of approximately 30% to improve economic viability, a specific shift toward downsizing in response to the previous challenge of securing production volumes. - FY2021-Q3WorsenedAnnual report
「Revenue declined year on year due partly to lower metal prices compared with the same period of the previous year (January–September) and the continued shutdown of CBH Co.'s Endeavor mine. In terms of earnings, although concentrate production at CBH Co.'s Rasp mine declined year on year due to lower production and ore grades,」
