Korea Zinc Considers Australian Smelter as U.S. Trip Is Planned
Korea Zinc is laying groundwork for a critical minerals alliance linking South Korea, the U.S. and Australia, with officials and industry representatives set to meet at a Washington roundtable. An economic mission led by Australia’s Queensland premier will attend, while it is unclear whether the Korea Zinc chairman will travel in person. The company cites limits on personnel and capital and notes a recent 3 trillion won rights offering to fund a Tennessee smelter.
