About InZinc
InZinc Mining Ltd. is focussed on advancing its 100% owned West Desert zinc-copper-iron project in western Utah. An independent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced on April 1, 2014 concludes that conventional mining and processing of the West Desert resources would provide strong potential cash-flow and a corresponding high rate of return (see NR14-02). From clean, high-quality concentrates, West Desert has the potential to produce 1.6 billion pounds of payable zinc and 146 million pounds of payable copper at low cost over a mine life of approximately 15 years. Over the same period, approximately 15 million tonnes of high quality iron (magnetite) concentrates suitable for domestic or off-shore markets would be produced as a potential high-value co-product, also at low cost.
West Desert benefits from all-weather road access, on-site grid power and proximity to natural gas. It is located 90 kilometres from multiple transcontinental rail networks accessing all major North American markets and servicing a variety of western US ports. Large and potentially expandable resources are an additional advantage for West Desert.
