Facility commissioned in 1963
In 1992, the Facility became the first zinc refinery in the world to obtain
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9002 certification
for all steps of its zinc production process. In 1995, the ISO 9002
certification was extended to cover the Processing Facility's production of
sulphuric acid. In 2003, the zinc production process and the sulphuric acid
plant received ISO 9001 certification. In 2005, CEZinc earned its ISO
14001-2004 certification covering all environmental processes at the plant.
Noranda Income Fund is an income trust whose units trade on the TSX under
the symbol "NIF.UN". The Fund owns the CEZinc processing facility ("the
Processing Facility") located in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec. CEZinc is
the second-largest zinc processing facility in North America and the largest
zinc processing facility on the Eastern Seaboard, where the majority of its
customers are located. Zinc concentrate is supplied to the Processing
Facility by Xstrata (Falconbridge) under an
agreement that will last until 2017. The Fund is paid a processing fee for
refining the zinc, and it earns additional revenue through zinc metal
premiums, byproduct credits and metal recovery gains. |
