Re: ZINIFEX..ZFX
Hi All,
Another interesting article from ww.kitcometals.com about zinc:
Zinifex is already making profit above estimates with current prices, what is going to happen if the price goes up?

Hi All,
Another interesting article from ww.kitcometals.com about zinc:
The news was largely good for zinc investors. The world’s top miner of the metal, Teck Cominco, said that it has no plans to open new mines soon. Rather, the company will wait until global zinc stocks drop below 200,000 before looking at new production. London inventories stood at 519,725 tons yesterday. "We're committed to doing whatever we can to make sure the inventories on the LME in zinc continue to decline," CEO Donald Lindsay told Reuters.
The industry’s third-largest zinc producer, Falconbridge, agrees with TC’s assessment. The company said that it has mothballed three zinc projects, with current prices being too low to warrant increased supply. Zinc initially fell a half cent yesterday to near $0.5860/lb, before recovering to a current $0.5915/lb.
