Those Last Few Zinc Units
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The processing of zinc concentrates by a zinc smelter is not 100% efficient . To optimise total revenue these last few zinc units must be recovered. A number of methods exist to do this and these are reviewed as well as their impact on costs and revenues. There is a clear east/west split on the method to use.
