(Reuters) - British diversified miner Glencore Plc's Canadian unit said on Wednesday it would permanently close down the Brunswick Lead Smelter in New Brunswick that employs about 420 people.The unit said the smelter, which started in 1966, had been 'uneconomic' since the Brunswick mine closed six years ago."We have thoroughly assessed all our options and come to the unavoidable conclusion that the smelter is simply not sustainable, regardless of the recent labour dispute," said Chris Eskdale,..
