PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Early stage refurbishment work has started at the Thalanga zinc processing plant, in Queensland, as part of efforts to restart the project.

Owner Red River Resources previously reported that it would need to invest A$17.2-million to restart production at Thalanga, which has been on care and maintenance since 2012.

A 2015 restart study estimated that the 650 000 t/y processing plant could deliver average production of 21 400 t/y of zinc, 3 600 t/y of copper, 5 000 t/y of lead, 2 000 oz/y of gold and 370 000 oz/y of silver-in-concentrate.

“We are pleased to have commenced work on the refurbishment of the Thalanga processing plant, using funds raised in the recent highly oversubscribed A$8.9-million fundraising,” said Red River MD Mel Palancian.

“This work forms an important step towards the full restart of the Thalanga zinc project, and will enable us to further tighten the budget and timeline for the remaining restart work at the Thalanga processing plant.”
