Global Zinc Mining to 2020, New Research on ASDReports

Wednesday 5 November 2014, Amsterdam

The new report now available on ASDReports comprehensively covers historical and forecast data on global zinc mine production to 2020, production by major countries and reserves by grade and geographic region, historic and forecast refined zinc consumption and zinc prices. The report also includes drivers and restraints affecting the industry, profiles of major zinc mining companies and information on the major global active, exploration and development projects. Total world zinc reserves amounted to 250 million tonnes (Mt) at end of 2013. Australia, China, Peru, Mexico, India, the US and Kazakhstan collectively had 72% of total zinc ore reserves at the end of 2013. Global zinc mine production was 13.7Mt in 2013, up by 1% from 2012. China, Australia, Peru, India, the US, Mexico and Canada contributed 76% of the total zinc mine production in 2013.

Additional report highlights
China was the biggest contributor, with 37% of total zinc mine production in 2013. The main producing provinces in China are Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Guangxi and Inner Mongolia, which together contribute around 70% of the country’s total production. Over the forecast period (2014–2020), world zinc mine production is projected to fall to 13.2Mt in 2020 while global zinc consumption which was 13Mt in 2013 and up by 7% compared to 2012, is expected to reach 16Mt in 2020. A lack of investment in large-scale projects, the exhaustion of large operating mines and a gradual recovery of the global economy are expected to push the global zinc market into a state of pronounced deficit and apply upward pressure on prices. Upcoming zinc projects are mainly owned by small-scale companies, which account for 40% of global zinc production. There are nine projects, with combined reserves of 334Mt, scheduled to commence operations during 2014–2016.
