Newman Base Metals (Prairie Downs) zinc mine project

The Prairie Downs project is located 60km south-west of Newman, Pilbara in Western Australia. It is expected to be an underground mine adopting longhole open-stoping, followed by differential flotation to produce separate lead and zinc concentrates. Timeline for project commencement is subject to change given the numerous milestones still to be met on the road to development.
