SHANGHAI,Sept.19th(CBI China) -- Nyrstar Yunnan Zinc Alloys Company completed its unit maintenance cycle which began in early July. Production resumed on September 16th, with the capacity of 60kt/yr. The maintenance cycle was much longer than normal, as the unit closure was also related to the depressed domestic zinc ingot market and possible adjustments in production plans. The company's 40kt/yr die-casting zinc alloys unit will be completed during November 2008.
Nyrstar Yunnan Zinc Alloys Company is a joint venture, created by Yunnan Copper Group and Nyrstar, each with shares of 40% and 60% , respectively. The company is mainly engaged in zinc smelting, and zinc-based alloys. Nyrstar is the largest zinc producer in the world.
