Fluorsid to restart fluorspar production at Glebe Mines

摘要

Italian fluorochemicals producer Fluorsid SpA has acquired the facilities and assets of UK fluorspar company Glebe Mines Ltd, to form a new subsidiary called British Fluorspar. Minmet UK Ltd (renamed British Fluorspar on 29 May 2012) bought Glebe, which was put on care and maintenance in November 2010, by competitive tender on 18 May 2012 after the operation was put into receivership. Minmet UK is a subsidiary of Swiss-based Minmet Financing Co., which owns a 60% stake in Fluorsid.
