ANGLO-SWISS miner Xstrata today said it will invest $87 million to boost its annual net zinc output by 5 per cent to 25,000 tonnes.
The miner plans to reach its target by accelerating the development of its Lady Loretta underground mine project and extending the mine life of its Handlebar Hill open cut zinc operation, both in Australia.
