JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Premier African Minerals on Wednesday reported that all screen and plant upgrades and modifications were on site at its Zimbabwe-based RHA tungsten project and installation was progressing well.

Despite delays at the Zimbabwe/South Africa border earlier this week, start-up of the plant was planned for Monday, Premier CEO George Roach said in a statement.

Earlier in May, the company said that mining equipment and minerals processing specialist Appropriate Process Technologies would complete upgrades at the plant by July 6, with all the necessary equipment ordered.
