Miner looks to meet Southern Africa’s zinc deficit

While the zinc industry is poised to have a structural deficit until 2022, diversified miner Vedanta Resources' Vedanta Zinc International (VZI) is well positioned to meet the needs of South African zinc users, says VZI and Vedanta Resources Africa Base Metals CEO Deshnee Naidoo. “The feasibility study currently under way for Phase 2 at the Gamsberg zinc project in the Northern Cape (which will double its production) will assist the industry in addressing the current shortages.”
