We listed on the Euronext Brussels Stock Exchange on 29 October 2007.Our name, Nyrstar, is a combination of ‘nyr’, an old Norse word meaning new, and ‘star’ a leading light. For us, Nyrstar means a bright new star, brilliant and fresh.Our vision is to be the partner of choice in essential resources for the development of a changing world. Our strategic direction is to focus on the pursuit of value creation for our stakeholders through initiatives that improve and expand our existing assets whilst selectively pursuing opportunities in mining.The zinc we produce is most commonly used to protect steel from corrosion. It is used in a wide range of industries, the largest consumers being the construction and transport sectors.Nyrstar also produces significant quantities of lead. Lead and zinc are very much sister metals, tending to occur together geologically. Lead is mainly used to produce lead-acid batteries, used primarily in motor vehicles.Given the mineral nature of zinc and lead concentrates, when they are processed they produce a number of valuable by-products such as copper, gold, indium and silver. Sulphuric acid is another valuable by-product of the zinc smelting process.Nyrstar's plants are located close to its key customers and adjacent to major transport hubs to allow easy delivery of raw materials and distribution of finished products.
