Nyrstar Considering Reopening Port Pirie

Nyrstar announced it is in the early stages of investigating a potential redevelopment of the Port Pirie smelter.

As quoted in the press release:

A potential redevelopment of the Port Pirie smelter would be another step in pursuing Nyrstar’s stated mission to capture the maximum value inherent in mineral resources through deep market insight and unique processing capabilities. This would further extend Nyrstar’s recent capital investments in processing capabilities which has enabled commencement of production of indium metal at the Auby smelter (France) and tellurium dioxide at the Port Pirie smelter; both high margin products that unlock further value from Nyrstar’s raw materials.
