Middle Tennessee Complex is comprised of three underground zinc mines: Gordonsville, Cumberland, Elmwood, and a processing plant located at the Gordonsville mine site.
In July 2019, Nyrstar’s operating business became majority owned by Trafigura. Production numbers have not been publicly available since then.
On October 31, 2023, Nyrstar's Middle Tennessee Mines in Gordonsville, TN, announced today that it will temporarily pause production operations on 30 November 2023. This decision comes after a thorough review and is in direct response to significantly weakened market conditions and inflationary impacts on input costs and operating margins.
Production at Middle Tennessee Mines will resume as soon as it is economically viable or once the proposed gallium and germanium production capacity at Nyrstar Clarksville comes on line in the next few years. |
