Turnkey mineral process plants, equipment and engineering services supplier Manhattan Corporation reports that it was awarded a contract last month to provide a 25 000 t/m plant for a Zimbabwe-based gold mining company.
The project is in the procurement phase and will move to the engineering and development phase over the next few months, the company says, adding that it has worked closely with the client, which wishes to expand its production capacity.
Meanwhile, the company is also working on the feasibility of 35 000 t/m and 60 000 t/m plants for a Zimbabwe-based client, with a decision from its client on which options it prefers to take expected in the next quarter, based on the results of the feasibility studies.
Manhattan’s ‘Best Value for its Business Partnerships’ philosophy enables the strategic development of a technical solution, which may include providing equipment within a specified budget, or delivered within a specific timeframe. “Owing to our ability to provide new or re-engineered plant, solutions can be customised to suit a client’s needs,” the company notes.
Further, Manhattan adopts a unique, pioneering approach to mining and community development and strives to be a responsible mining and engineering company through its vertical integration strategy of engineering, mining, beneficiation, agricultural and industrial development.
The company is focused on increasing employment and the development of skills, while empowering its partners and the communities it operates in.
There are
an array of potential partnerships in the mining and engineering sectors in Zimbabwe and Manhattan’s future projects include the technical development of its part-ners in its mining and engineering projects.
Manhattan notes that Zimbabwe has been a top export destination and strategic geographical area of investment and development for the company since its early years. The country is also the company’s single biggest pipeline export market, and its turnkey plant development business there is double the size of its South African footprint.
Manhattan has, over the past number of years, assessed mining opportunities in commodities such as gold, diamonds, coal, chrome and platinum for its clients in Zimbabwe’s mining industry that require technical partners and potential investors.
Manhattan’s development of a good-quality mining asset where a partnership makes sense is done in a way that benefits all partners within the structure.
