Base reports first shipment from Kenya's Kwale
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mineral sands miner Base Resources has received an export permit to wave off its first bulk shipment from the Kwale mineral sands project, in Kenya.
The ASX-listed miner said on Friday that the maiden shipment of about 25 000 t of ilmenite would set sail over the weekend from the Likoni marine facility, which was completed in December, adding that deliveries of finished ilmenite and rutile product were being stockpiled in the 60 000 t capacity port storage shed in advance of the shipment.
Base added that all work packages at Kwale were now complete and operational, with the exception of the zircon circuit of the mineral separation plant, which was currently undergoing feed commissioning.
Zircon production was expected to start within the next few weeks.
Kwale produced its first ilmenite and rutile concentrate in December last year.
