| History of the CENTURY Project |
|
The Century deposit was discovered in 1990 by CRA (now Rio Tinto) and was purchased by Pasminco in 1997 at which time development of the deposit commenced.
The first shipment of zinc concentrate was made in December 1999 and the operation reached full production in 2003.
