Zinc & Lead Mines in Short Supply, Processing Charges Keeping Low

Source:SMM

Currently domestic supply for lead and zinc mines is still in tension.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 28 (SMM)－Currently domestic supply for lead and zinc mines is still in tension. And quantity of lead concentrate imported is not enough. Some enterprises in the North have begun to stock up for winter season. SMM predicts the supply tension will not be relieved greatly by the end of this year. The processing charges will probably keep in low level, hard to go up.
