TORONTO (Reuters) - Brazilian miner Nexa Resources expects demand for zinc to outpace supply, keeping prices for the metal at $3,400 to $3,500 a ton for the rest of the year, Chief Executive Tito Martins said on Tuesday. Small mines in China, which previously ramped up output to meet demand, are
In 1975, Teck started commercial production at the Newfoundland Zinc Mines from an initial proven deposit with 4.45 million tons of 8.78% zinc ore. The ore was exposed at the surface and was accessed by open pits and inclined ramps which combined to result in an initial low-cost 1,500 ton per day mining and milling

Superior Lake Resources Ltd (ASX:SUP) has completed the first phase of data compilation and target generation at the Pick Lake/Winston Lake Zinc Project in Ontario, Canada. The company is looking to bring these previous producing mines back into production following the establishment of a JORC
This is a notable improvement on the metallurgical performance achieved by historical mining operations and from earlier test work. The derived flowsheet, when applied to samples collected from the supergene horizon, achieved maximum metal recoveries of 88% zinc within the zinc circuit and 74%
"Bunker Hill leads the way as one of the most important mines ever in American history," says Reid. "It produced over 35 million tons of high-grade lead-zinc, about 8.5% lead, 4.5% zinc and 2 to 3 ounces of silver. When it closed it had resources and reserves of over 60 million tons, or almost twice what had
The broad analysts' consensus is that the acute tightness in the mined concentrates part of the zinc production chain is already starting to dissipate as a supply response to high prices builds momentum. Glencore's partial restart of mine capacity it mothballed towards the end of 2015 was both a signal that
The Taylor Mine, named after Arizona Mining CEO Don Taylor, is anticipated to be one of the world's largest lead/zinc mines, and is set to be in production by late 2020."We've got about over 100 million tons of ten and a half percent zinc equivalent," Taylor told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Gold Stock
The miner produced 210.4-million pounds of zinc in zinc concentrate at its flagship Bisha mine, in Eritrea, which was at the top end of revised guidance of 190-millin to 210-million pounds. Nevsun also produced 17.5-million pounds of copper in copper concentrate, which was below revised guidance of
The old mine workings are situated within coincident soil anomalies for zinc, lead and other pathfinder elements. Results from this early-stage exploration indicate that additional precious and base metals mineralisation may be present within the western part of the Oposura property and further exploration,
Vancouver-based Trevali Mining (TSX: TV) and Quebec-based Puma Exploration (TSX-V:PUMA) have entered into a Letter of Intent for the
The 2017 diamond drilling program was conducted in the northwest region of the property northwest of the historic Keymet Mine, testing the continuation of zinc, copper, lead and silver bearing veins (Elmtree 12 vein system) and gold mineralization intersected by Great Atlantic during 2015 diamond drilling and trenching
According to New Century Resources, the Century mine hosts 2.2-million tonnes of Joint Ore Reserves Committee- (Jorc-) compliant zinc metal equivalent resources located within mineralised tailings, and over one-million tonnes of Jorc-compliant zinc and lead resources in the Silver King, South Block and
Nevada Zinc said core holes that actually twinned previous RC holes were "largely similar" to the extent and grade of mineralisation intersected. "Some areas showed significantly higher grade partly becaue the core drilling equipment, with improved mudding techniques, allowed for better recovery of the
From as early as 1886, and sporadically until circa 1975, the Mt. Hope area produced zinc as well as by-product lead, copper, silver, and cadmium from small-scale underground mines. With the strong recovery in zinc prices last year, General Moly staff conducted an evaluation of past exploration and drill
The sale will leave Bumi Resources Minerals, a mining company linked to tycoon and former politician Aburizal Bakrie, with a 100% stake in Dairi Prima Mineral, an underground zinc mining project in North Sumatra. The project was granted a work contract by the Indonesian government in 1998 and is
