Mining team continues
“ 2.2 Mt/a of new production capacity is required by 2019....to offset
expected closures and attrition at base case operations and to meet
demand growth”
“ Developing ...new capacity in a timely fashion will be a significant
challenge for the zinc industry in the near to medium term ....as
todays metal prices and economic environment are not particularly
supportive to the financing of new mine capacity “
Zinc Market – Best fundamentals
in a long time
Wood Mackenzie , April 2014
“$7 billion is needed to finance 2 Mt/a Zn of project capacity “

CBH Priorities
Profitability and costs (including removal of carbon tax ! )
Future for Endeavor Mine ( replacement feed , leveraging
infrastructure )
Development of high grade Main Lode ore sources at Rasp, and
return to design throughput in 2015
The next orebody - exploration to remain focussed on areas
within vicinity of existing CBH mines
Business development opportunities (Targets Zn , Pb, Cu ,
Cu/Au )
Positioning for higher zinc and lead prices
