Zincor

Zincor

Located 50 km east of Johannesburg in Springs, Zincor is an electrolytic zinc refinery with the capacity to produce 110ktpa of zinc and 170ktpa of sulphuric acid. The elimination of bottlenecks and a recovery improvement project are aimed at increasing zinc production to 115ktpa by the end of 2007.

Zincor employs approximately 760 people, including contractors, and processes some 240ktpa of zinc concentrate.  The zinc concentrates are supplied by Rosh Pinah (50%) and Black Mountain (30%) while 20% is imported.

Zincor is currently the only zinc refinery in South Africa. Most sales are to customers in the galvanising, zinc chemical and zinc alloy industries, clustered within a radius of 100 km of the plant. Some 25% of Zincor’s total sales are to Mittal SA and approximately 13% to Duferco Steel Processing in Saldanha Bay on the west coast of South Africa. Zincor’s pricing structures are linked to the London Metals Exchange zinc price.

The sulphuric acid produced at the plant is a superior-quality by-product and a major source of supply to the South African market.
