*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Rampura Agucha is one of the world's largest zinc mines. The project was given the go-ahead by the Indian Government in 1985. Commercial production started in June 1991. Initially, mine production came solely from the Agucha open pit. The high average head grade of the ore milled helped make this the largest zinc mine in the world for a number of years, with contained metal production averaging 650kt/a zinc between 2009 and 2014. Ore from underground stopes began supplementing the open pit ore feed to the mill from 2013, with some development ore prior to this. Production from the open pit ceased at the end of March 2018. Ore is also mined from the Kayad mine located 16km away.
