Consolidated Zinc rethinks strategy for Mexican project

ASX-listed Consolidated Zinc has revealed plans to more than double planned production at its Plomosas zinc mine, in Mexico, following increasingly positive exploration results. Rather than starting small-scale mining as an initial step in 2018, Consolidated Zinc said on Tuesday that it was weighing the opportunity to move directly to more significant production in 2019, targeting over 250 000 t/y over a minimum mine life of between seven and ten years.
