Key countries set to boost global zinc production

摘要

Global mined zinc production will continue to ramp up as strong zinc prices prompt miners to bring idled capacity back on line and invest in new projects, according to analysis and consultancy company Fitch Solutions. While some capacity taken off line over 2015 to 2016 is the result of permanent mine closures, the return of some stalled capacity and new projects in key countries will drive growth over the coming quarters.
