Qld zinc mine ‘well timed’, production brought forward – MMG

First production from the $1.4-billion Dugald River zinc project, in Queensland, has been brought forward from the first half of 2018 to late 2017, as the project development advances ahead of schedule. ASX-listed MMG CEO Jerry Jiao on Wednesday said that with production of about 170 000 t/y of zinc-in-concentrate, and an increasingly strong price outlook for zinc, the Dugald River project was well timed and positioned to be within the world’s top ten zinc mines when operational.
