One of Europe's largest zinc mine
Tara in Ireland is one of Europe's largest zinc mines located just north of Dublin. Since mining began in 1977, more than 85 million tonnes of ore have been extracted. Boliden acquired the mine in 2004.
In recent years, Tara has focused on improving its cost position through productivity enhancing activities and cost savings measures. In Tara, both zinc and lead concentrates are produced mainly for the European market.
