Mawu (Huize) zinc smelter

Due to its age and location, the Zhehai (Huize) smelter was closed in 2011, and its production was replaced by this new 100kt/a zinc (operationally 133kt/a)-60kt/a lead smelter situated at Mawu (near Huize). Mawu was planned to start production during 2012, however commissioning actually began in late 2013.
