Hulunbeier zinc smelter

In 2008, Yunnan Chihong Zinc & Germanium Co. Ltd. announced plans for zinc and lead smelter project to be located at Hulunbeier in Inner Mongolia. The combined capacity would be 200kt/a of zinc and lead. Commissioning of the zinc smelter was planned during late 2013, however due to the high cost of raw materials this was delayed. In fact some trial production did occur during late 2014.
