Yes, i've seen the ilzsc.org stuff [and forgotten that current world consumption is ~11m tonnes/yr] ... there was an opinion elsewhere that chinese zinc output rises were largely from concentrate that they were importing, and would have been refined elsewhere if they hadn't, so it's not a net increase in production ... they say a smaller deficit this year, '154,000 tonnes in 2007', well that is half again the reported LME zinc stocks The NRCAN didn't have much of anything current, or i didn't find it last time on their site anyway ... some article several months ago listed mines about to shut down or reduce production as ore runs out, sure wish i'd saved it ... best to get info from multiple sources, you never know who might be bending the numbers to fit their agenda
