JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Earthworks at multicommodity natural resource group Premier African Minerals’ flagship RHA tungsten project, in Zimbabwe, are progressing ahead of schedule, and are 21% complete compared with planned completion of 8%.

The company said in an update on Thursday that the openpit mining pad had been completed and that first civil works had started.

Premier added that the fabrication of the process plant was on schedule for transport from Johannesburg in May, while infrastructure development, including power and water supply and reticulation was under way, with all trenching for water supply lines completed.

“Construction remains on time and on budget. It is most pleasing being able to report that the first bench of the openpit is being cut and stripping has commenced. We look forward to updating shareholders in due course,” CEO George Roach said in a statement on Thursday.
