Resumen de Germany increases fluorspar self-sufficiency
Germany's fluorspar production is expected to increase by over 25,000 tonnes in 2015, as metallurgy company Nickelhuette escalates output at its new site in the Ore Mountains.
Nickelhuette's project will be the third fluorspar operation in Germany alongside Sachtleben Bergbau's Clara Mine in Oberwolfach and the Ilmenau Gehren project, owned by Fluorchemie Group.
This increased production will make Germany's fluorspar sector more self-sufficient as consumers attempt to diversify supply chains in the wake of China's attempts to cut exports.
