Tungsten project ships first concentrates
Aim-listed multi-commodity mining and resource development company Premier African Minerals announced last month that plant modifications for its flagship RHA Tungsten project, in Zimbabwe, had arrived on site and that the first tungsten concentrate from the project had been shipped to Durban, South Africa.
“With the arrival on site of these plant modifications, we anticipate that we will progress rapidly to steady-state production. At the same time, higher-grade ore is now arriving at the plant, as we continue to expose more of the defined resource in the developing openpits.
“While I had expected the plant to settle to steady state quicker than has been the case, the fact that the plant has demonstrated the ability to recover wolframite in concentrates of up to 70% tungsten trioxide augers well for the future of RHA,” says Premier African Minerals CEO George Roach.
He notes that the initial shipment of concentrates will test the packing, inspection and assay procedures, as well as verify the export, inland transport and payment methods of the project.
“It remains our intention to update the market and provide details of anticipated revenues thereafter and when steady-state production is attained,” he concludes.
