The modest capital expenditure venture had originally planned to mine up to 80,000 tonnes of lead and 2.8 million ounces of silver per year from the shallow ore body, with an estimated annual value of more than $200 million.
However, Mr Wesson said in the early years there would be "negligible zinc" and the company would instead focus on shipping 25,000 tonnes of lead in 50,000 tonnes of concentrate and 770,000 ounces of silver each year.
