previously rescheduled to Monday 30 September 2019. Nyrstar today
announces that, due to the time taken to complete the audit opinion
for the financial statements for the financial year ended 31

Production Update H1
2019Nyrstar’s Metals Processing segment produced
approximately 480,000 tonnes of zinc metal in H1 2019, representing
a 9% decrease on H1 2018. The decrease in zinc metal production
year-over-year was caused by reduced availability of raw materials
with the liquidity constraints imposed as the Company completed its
balance sheet restructuring.
Lead market metal production at Port Pirie of
51kt was 27% lower compared to H1 2018 due to the failure of the
main gas duct on the TSL furnace. This failure of the TSL furnace
led to the subsequent shutdown of the blast furnace from 26 April
2019 until the end of July 2019 due to a lack of feed as a result
of the extended outage in the TSL furnace.
Sulphuric acid production of 680,000 tonnes in
H1 2019 was marginally higher compared to H1 2018.
