Hindustan Zinc has achieved the highest ever mined metal production during the third quarter ended December 31, 2016, up 44% from previous quarter and 21% y-o-y. The sequential increase was on account of higher volumes from Rampura Agucha open cast mine in accordance with mine plan and the y-o-y increase was driven by higher volumes from Rampura Agucha underground and open cast mines. In line with the plan of substantially higher mined metal production in H2, mined metal production during the nine month period was lower by 15% y-o-y and will be higher than FY 2016 for full year with Q4 being higher than Q3. During the nine month period, underground mines ramped by significantly to achieve a substantial 60% y-o-y increase in ore production and 55% y-o-y increase in mined metal production.

The production of integrated zinc metal during the quarter was at 205kt, up 38% from previous quarter, and flat y-o-y on account of accretion of mined metal inventory. Integrated saleable lead metal production during the quarter was 39kt, up 26% sequentially and 10% y-o-y. The y-o-y increase was in line with mined metal production, while the sequential increase was accentuated on account of enhanced smelter efficiencies. Integrated saleable silver production during the quarter increased by 10% to 118 MT from previous quarter and 2% y-o-y.

In line with the company’s on-going expansion to reach 1.2 mtpa mined metal production capacity, environmental clearances were received for Sindesar Khurd expansion of ore production capacity from 3.75 mtpa to 4.5 mtpa and for Zawar mine to 4 mtpa.

It has other mines in Sindesar Khurd, Rajpura Dariba, Kayar and Zawar, all in Rajasthan.
