For the year ended, performance at the Mount Isa zinc-lead concentrator improved significantly and throughput increased from 5.0 million tonnes in 2007 to 6.1 million tonnes in 2008 as the expansion project progressed. Zinc metal in concentrate rose by 25% to 283,100 tonnes. Real cost savings were achieved through optimising reagent usage and improvements in energy efficiency. These improvements were partially offset by inflationary increases in the price of many consumables. In 2008, the Mount Isa lead smelter achieved production of 167,303 tonnes of crude lead. This was the result of increased concentrate feed from the zinc-lead concentrator and increased volumes of third party lead concentrate feed. Also reported that a strategic review aimed at optimising efficiency and productivity and securing the long-term future of Mount Isa operations has resulted in a restructuring of operations includes placing its Handlebar Hill operation on care and maintenance from early February 2009. Production from Handlebar Hill will be replaced by increased output from the George Fisher and Black Star operations at Mount Isa
