Lundin More Than Doubling Zinc Production at Neves-Corvo
Lundin Mining has begun work to expand throughput capacity at the zinc concentrator at its Neves-Corvo operations in southern Portugal from 1.1 million metric tons per year (mt/y) to 2.5 million mt/y. Production of zinc in concentrates is planned to increase from about 70,000 mt/y to an average of about 150,000 mt/y for the 10-year period from 2020 to 2030. At the same time, production of lead in concentrates will increase from about 5,000 mt/y to an average of about 20,000 mt/y. Subject to receipt of anticipated environmental approval in the third quarter of 2017, Lundin expects to begin construction on the expanded zinc plant in the first quarter of 2018, with commissioning and ramp-up to be completed by the end of 2019.
