The current zinc price of more than $2 000/t is "very profitable" for Irish zinc miners and it makes the Stonepark discovery, in Limerick, an “attractive asset”, says London-listed Arkle Mining chairperson John Teeling.
Arkle, formerly Connemara Mining, has a 23.44% participating interest in Stonepark, which is a joint venture (JV) with Toronto-based explorer Group Eleven and lies adjacent to the large Pallas Green zinc deposit.
