Nevertheless, we have covered zinc extensively from a sector perspective and we have consistently highlighted the looming supply gap that would emerge. We are now approaching a critical point in terms of declining supplies from existing zinc sources, which we believe justifies the introduction of a world-class emerging zinc producer.
