Zinc mine restart plans 'show how sick' industry is

扫码查看
The recent announcements by two zinc miners that they were aiming to restart production at certain facilities demonstrates "just how sick and hopeless this industry is from a fundamental standpoint," according to a source at a major North American producer. Late last week, Finnish metals group Outokumpu approved an improvement programme to secure the profitable operation and increased value of its Tara zinc mine in Ireland. The implementation of the program at he facility will start immediately, and the firm said a final decision on re-opening the mine, which had an annual production of nearly 200,000 metric tons of zinc concentrates, would be made in May. Also late last week, Canadian/Swedish base metals producer Boliden said it would reopen its Myra Falls ZINC MINE IN British Columbia. Myra Falls produced 57,892 metric tons of zinc metal in 2001.
