Naica (closed) zinc mine

Until Dec 2014 Naica was operating an underground mine with a conventional 2.9kt/d Pb-Zn ore concentrator. The mine pumped significant amounts of relatively high temperature water. On January 1st 2015 operations ceased due to flooding of the mine. The management focus is now on the development of the New Naica mine and extension of the old Naica mine.
