With growing global demand for metals, Anglesey Mining seems increasingly optimistic about zinc mining prospects at Parys Mountain on the isle of Anglesey. The company has carried out extensive feasibility tests and exploratory drilling on copper and zinc deposits at various zones at this historic Anglesey site.
Estimates carried out by Micon International Consultants suggest that the indicated and inferred results for resource levels and grades for zinc are very encouraging. With mining operations such as this, inevitably the development and ongoing costs of production have to be factored in very carefully, having regard to metal prices over the medium to long term. According to Anglesey Mining a significant proportion of the identified zinc resource is close to the surface, which would mean a relatively low cost extraction process.
