MY JOB

Where I work

I'm a Process Engineer and I work for Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting* in Flin Flon Manitoba. I started in the beginning of October of 2008 and work in the zinc plant, mainly in the pressure leach area.

We have a full scale mine here. This includes various underground operations, a mill which produces a zinc concentrate and copper concentrate, a zinc hydrometallurgical processing plant, zinc cell house (refinery), and a copper smelter which produces copper anodes.

The zinc produced here has a purity of over 99%, which is one of the highest grades produced in North America
