Nyrstar announced interim management statement for the third quarter and nine months of 2014. For the quarter, continued solid operational performance for Metals Processing with zinc market metal production of 269,000 tonnes, up 1% quarter-on-quarter. At Port Pirie, lead market metal production was approximately 54,000 tonnes, up 26% quarter-on-quarter given the prior periods production was impacted by blast furnace performance issues. Metals Processing produced approximately 9 tonnes of indium metal during the quarter. Nyrstars own mines produced approximately 70,000 tonnes of zinc in concentrate during the third quarter of the year, an improvement of 4% on the prior quarter and 3% on the first nine months of the prior year. This was driven by improved overall recoveries and higher mill head grades.

Metals Processing produced approximately 32 tonnes year-to-date.
