Global lead production set to stagnate after 2017 acceleration

Following a decline in overall lead production worldwide in 2016, a slight rise in prices will drive a short-lived acceleration in global lead mine production growth in 2017. Subdued prices and a weak project pipeline in several major lead-producing countries will bring this rapid rate of growth to a halt from 2018 to 2021, global research firm BMI said on Friday.
