Achmmach tin project, Morocco
Name and Location
Achmmach tin project, Morocco.
Client
Kasbah Resources.
Project Description
Achmmach has a maiden ore reserve of 8.45-million tonnes at 0.78% tin for 65 400 t of contained tin.
The definitive feasibility study (DFS) base case has determined that a one-million-tonne-a-year underground operation at Achmmach is technically and commercially feasible.
The base case is premised on under-ground extraction of the entire Meknès trend ore reserve using long-hole open stoping (LHOS) mining methods, sup-ported by pastefill delivering about one-million tonnes a year of run-of-mine (RoM) ore to a conventional gravity and flotation facility at Achmmach.
This processing plant will produce an estimated 10 000 t/y of low-impurity tin concentrates at about 55% tin and generate about 5 300 t/y of tin in concentrate for export.
The LHOS method is well suited to the Achmmach orebody geometry and rock mass competence and will allow for good ore recoveries with minimal dilution.
Value
Preproduction capital costs for the project are estimated at $181-million.
Duration
Production is expected in 2016.
Latest Developments
With the completion of the DFS, project financing and offtake discussions can proceed.
