Japan’s Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd announced on Thursday that production at its Harima zinc and lead smelter will resume from May 6.
The company has been carrying out maintenance at the plant since 18 March, the company said.
The company also announced a number of other closures for some of its smelters and refineries.
The Niihama Nickel Refinery will be shut for four days in May and four days in November for regular maintenance.
The Hyuga ferronickel smelter will be closed for 21 days during May and June for repairs on one production line and for 25 days in November for repairs on a second production line. The renewal of a line of double furnaces, which has been ongoing since February 2010, is scheduled to finish at the end of August. Production will resume then.
Earlier this month, the company said it has no regular maintenance and repair work planned for 2010/11 at its Toyo Smelter & Refinery.
