no one knows what price they are getting for teh HZMP produce... but it is definately tied somehow to the LME price as the net value has gone from 50mill in june to 70mill in november.

claws: you are speaking of the INTEC process.. the HZMP plant is just re-floating the tailings and producing a gross concentrate of zinc, lead and silver... I'm unsure as to whether the smelters are paying for the zinc only in the produce - or whether they pay a fraction of all its components.. i guess it depends whether they are able to separate the indivual metals that are in the final shipment produce.

The INTEC process removes metals in stages - so zinc will be removed first, then lead, then copper then silver then gold.. (the order may be muddled up, but you get the picture).
