Base metals miner Lundin Mining has approved the €256.5-million Zinc Expansion Project (ZEP) at its Neves-Corvo mine, in Portugal, which will more than double the operation’s zinc production.
Announcing the results of a positive feasibility study for ZEP, CEO Paul Conibear reported this week that early project work was already under way to facilitate a “rapid start” following the approval of an environmental-impact assessment (EIA) and amendments to the environmental licence.
