PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Black Mountain Resources has produced its first saleable vermiculite from its Namakera mine and processing operation, in Uganda.

Black Mountain earlier this month completed the acquisition of GLF Holdings, assuming operating and financial control of the company’s Ugandan subsidiary, which holds the Namakera mine.

The company has previously committed to spend $2.5-million on the operation within the next two years, saying on Friday that it had started its capital investment programme, with particular focus placed on the process plant upgrade work and optimisation.

The initial focus of the work is targeting feed preparation, with an upgrade to the rotary dryer planned to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. The programme will also investigate reducing the volume of oversize rejects.

Subsequent work will be focused on the implementation of wet screening on the run-of-mine pad to optimise feed to the dryer, building a dry product stockpile to allow optimisation of plant feed, increasing the screening capacity and increasing the on-site storage capacity.
