SEP 1B project, South Africa
Name and Location
SEP 1B project, Northern Cape, South Africa.
Client
Kumba Iron Ore.
Project Description
The project involves the beneficiation of the –1+0.2 mm fraction of the jig plant run-of-mine feed, which is currently discarded. This fraction was not initially included in the jig plant scope, owing to the technical risks of the beneficiating and dewatering of this product. These technical risks have since been mitigated. This project has the potential to increase the jig plant product yield by 3% and to create 18 jobs.
Potential production is forecast at 730 000 t/y of fine ore.
Value
Not stated.
Duration
The project is expected to be completed at the end of 2014.
Latest Developments
Construction of a pilot test module (the first of four modules) began in 2011 to assist with the final technology selection.
Metallurgical evaluation on the two technologies is still in progress.
On finalisation, construction will start with the three further modules this year.
Key Contracts and Suppliers
