Euronext Brussels-listed base metals miner Nyrstar has advised of it being placed under suspicion of alleged forgery, the use of false annual accounts and the misuse of corporate assets by the examining magistrate's office in Antwerp.

Nyrstar says it has not yet been granted access to the criminal file and is therefore not in a position to comment further on the allegations or the underlying facts at this time.

The company continues to provide its full cooperation with the ongoing criminal investigation in Antwerp.

Nyrstar owns one of the world’s largest multi-metal smelters processing lead, silver, zinc fume and copper matte, in South Australia. The company also has a zinc smelting operation close to its headquarters in the Netherlands, and a historic zinc refining plant in France.
