Slag pots

Slag pots in the new smelter at Namtu, Myanmar which was constructed after the Second World War when the old smelter was destroyed. It processed lead, silver, zinc and copper from the Bawdwin mines but has been out of use for some time. It was suggested that it would reopen in 2012 but I have not heard anything of this since my visit.
