SMM10, March 15: Nyrstar announced Monday that its Langlois zinc mine will stop production in December, mainly because local rock conditions have deteriorated and are no longer suitable for mining operations.

In 2018, the zinc concentrate output of the Langlois project reached 24000 tons.

The Langlois zinc mine began production in July 2007, but maintenance began the following year.

Nyrstar acquired the project in 2011 and brought the mine back to operation through the renovation of underground mines and surface infrastructure.

MMG Q3 2026 Zinc Production Down 5% YoY, Rosebery Mine Output Slumps

MMG released its third-quarter 2026 production report on October 14. Total zinc production for the quarter reached 55.9kt, down 5% YoY, mainly due to lower output at the Rosebery mine. Dugald River produced 47.8kt of zinc in zinc concentrate during the quarter, broadly unchanged YoY. The mine remains on track to achieve the upper end of its full-year zinc production guidance of 170–180kt. Rosebery produced 8.13kt of zinc during the quarter, down 23% YoY, primarily due to reduced ore supply following seismic events in the X-South orebody area since July. As a result, the company lowered its 2026 zinc production guidance for the mine to 32–37kt from the previous 45–55kt.
