FACTBOX-Global zinc mine projects

Australia - May 8 (Reuters) - Zinc prices are sharply lower than the all-time highs seen in November 2006, with sentiment dented by global demand worries and a large number of new mine projects set to start up and feed smelters.

But some analysts are worried that low prices will delay or scupper some new projects, leaving the market vulnerable to shortages again early next decade.

The table below details the major new zinc mines, which have recently come into production or are due on stream in the next few years, as well as some restarts.
