East Tennessee Mines

The East Tennessee complex consists of a processing plant and three underground zinc mines: Young, Coy and Immel. Zinc mineralisation at the mine complex occurs in Mississippi Valley-type deposits as open-space fillings of breccias and fractures within limestone and dolomites. Ore from the three mines is processed into zinc concentrate at the Young mine site. The East Tennessee zinc mine complex has a close association with Nyrstar’s Clarksville smelter
