PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Junior producer Shaw River Manganese has produced and transported its first manganese direct shipping ore (DSO) product from its Otjozondu project, in Namibia.
The DSO was being transported by truck in shipping containers to the Okahandja rail, from where it would be railed to the Walvis Bay port, and delivered into a fixed price contract with Noble Resources International.
Shaw River in October this year signed an offtake agreement with Noble under which the company would deliver up to 30 000 t of manganese from the Otjozondu project.
Shaw River said on Monday that it had secured the use of a dedicated stockpiling area within the Walvis Bay port, where containers would be offloaded and stockpiled ahead of shipping.
