Black Mountain Mining (BMM), which is part of Vedanta Zinc International, has published a draft scoping report for public comment on a proposed zinc smelter to be built at the Gamsberg zinc project, near Aggeneys, in the Northern Cape.
BMM is proposing to build a new zinc smelter and associated infrastructure to produce 300 000 t/y of special high-grade zinc metal, by processing 680 000 t/y of zinc concentrate.
