Nyrstar Port Pirie

Located on the eastern shore of the Upper Spencer Gulf in South Australia, approximately 230 kms north of Adelaide, the Smelter has been in constant operation for more than 126 years. There is an adjacent dedicated port facility where concentrates are received, with final products dispatched by road and rail.

Port Pirie is a primary lead smelter which also has the flexibility to treat a small range of other metal bearing feed material. Port Pirie is one of the world’s largest primary lead smelting facilities and the third largest silver producer, which allows it to benefit from significant economies of scale.
