Nyrstar NV provides earnings guidance for the full year of 2018. Full year 2018 guidance for production and capex remains unchanged and, on the basis of current market conditions, the Company reiterates its guidance for positive full year 2018 Free Cash Flow. The outlook for the Company in 2019 will benefit from the ongoing ramp-up of the Port Pirie Redevelopment, the ramp-up of the Myra Falls mine, which achieved first concentrate production this quarter and is expected to make its first concentrate shipment in fourth quarter of 2018, and the hedge of 166kt of zinc for Nyrstar's mining operations that has been put in place at a price of approximately USD 3,000 per tonne. Spot zinc treatment charges, driven by the zinc concentrate market becoming better supplied, have increased notably in China over the past two quarters. This is expected to result in higher realised treatment charges for the Company in 2019 compared to 2018.
