Australia's CBH to fully restart Endeavor zinc mine in August
Tokyo (Platts)--21Jul2006
Australian mine operator CBH Resources expects zinc and lead concentrate
production at its Endeavor mine to resume full operation in August 2006, a
source at CBH subsidiary Endeavor Operations told Platts Friday.
The Endeavor mine, located in the eastern state of New South Wales, was
shut in October 2005 after a fall of waste ground. Mining operations restarted
on December 12, 2005 at 40% of normal capacity, and the mine's zinc and lead
concentrate production in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was 88,588 mt,
representing about 30% of normal output of 300,000 mt. The source said the
mine was currently producing at 60% of capacity.
Japanese lead and zinc smelter Toho Zinc holds a 25% stake in CBH
Resources. The Japanese company has the right to purchase all the zinc and
lead concentrate produced at Endeavor.
