Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- RTB Bor, Serbia’s sole copper miner and smelter, said its nine-month output increased 25 percent to 21,108 tons of copper, in line with its expectations.

The state-run company aims to produce 30,000 tons of copper this year, almost a ton of gold and 5.2 tons of silver, it reiterated in an e-mailed statement. It did not disclose its output of silver and gold for the period from January to September.
