NZPA Melbourne Lower price and volume of sales of zinc was the major factor in a 9.7 per cent earnings decline for North Broken Hill Holdings, Ltd, in the year to June 30. The fall in earnings from zinc was only partially offset by price and volume rises for silvef and lead, and group earnings for the 12 months came to sAustls.6M, compared with $17.3M. A steady final dividend of 5c a share makes an unchanged annual rate of 8c a share, which is covered 1.3 times by earnings.
