PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed junior NSL Consolidated has restarted its dry beneficiation plant in India, with first iron-ore sales expected before the end of the September quarter.

In May, NSL announced a two-phase plan for its dry beneficiation plant and to start processing stockpiles at its AP23 iron-ore tenements. The first phase of the operation would see NSL transport about 200 000 t of low-grade existing stockpiles at its AP23 tenement to the Kurnool stockyard. The material will be processed through the existing NSL plant, which had been under care and maintenance until recently.

NSL said on Wednesday that contractors were currently mobilising earthmoving equipment, labour, spares and other relevant support requirements to the stockyard in support of full-time operations and a production ramp-up in August.

It was anticipated that six months after the restart of operations, NSL would have constructed a standalone dry separation plant on site at AP23 to continue to process in-situ material amenable to the dry separation process.

The plant would have a design capacity of 200 000 t/y, which is the same as the existing plant located in the stockyard.

The second phase of the operation would see the introduction of a wet beneficiation plant at the existing stockyard, which would be fed with material from NSL’s Kuja and Mangal mines.

It was anticipated that the construction and the commissioning of the wet beneficiation plant would start within 12 months after restarting the Phase 1 operations.
