Construction of Vancouver-based Eastern Platinum’s (Eastplats’) retreatment project, at its Crocodile River mine, in the North West, is progressing well and all significant items required for the chrome circuit’s completion and commissioning are on site.
In March, Eastplats and its subsidiary, Barplats Mines, entered into a framework agreement with Union Goal relating to the construction, mining and processing of the tailings resource and offtake of chrome concentrate from Barplats’ tailings facility at the Crocodile River mine.
Eastplats reported last week that the tailings facility was progressing well and that dam construction continued on schedule.
Construction is estimated to be completed before the end of the third quarter, immediately followed by commissioning.
Eastplats expects the retreatment project to result in revenue-producing operations through offtake of the chrome concentrates to Union Goal during the fourth quarter.
