The company said it was making plans to meet customers’ zinc requirements over the short term. It also said that the cause of the accident would be known within four weeks.
“Zincor teams are restoring electricity supply which was damaged in the incident and by early next week management expect to make a decision on when to re-start production,” it said in a statement.
