Zinc concs TC pressured by 1-month delivery delay after Queensland flood

摘要

The upward momentum in zinc concentrates spot treatment charges (TCs) may be capped by the lower availability of Australian concentrates due to the estimated month-late delivery of parcels from the flooded North Queensland area, several smelters told Fastmarkets.The floods in early February had blocked the railroad to the Port of Townsville, which is the export gateway for MMG's Dugald River mine and Glencore's Mount Isa and McArthur River mine, according to the company websites.
