摘要

Australia’s newest base metals producer Heron Resources has started production at its wholly owned Woodlawn zinc-copper mine in New South Wales, the company said Wednesday. Once ramped up, Woodlawn is expected to produce about 40,000 mt/year of zinc concentrate, 10,000 mt of copper concentrate and 12,000 mt of lead concentrate, from processing a combination of underground ore and reclaimed tailings. Woodlawn will have an initial mine life of 9.3 years.
