| Deposit | THE SMELTER WAS SHUT DOWN FROM JUNE 15, 1993 UNTIL MID-AUGUST, 1993. A REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAD SHAFT FURNACE WITH MODERN BATH SMELTING TECHNOLOGY WILL HELP THE NORDENHAM SMELTER TO COMPLY FULLY WITH GERMAN ENVIORNMENTLNTAL REGULATIONS AND OFFER A GREATER FLEXIBILITY WITH RAW MATERIAL FEED. HOWEVER, IT WILL LOWER PRODUCTION TO 90,000 MTPY FROM 120,000 MYPY. |
