Wet commissioning under way at Wolf’s UK tungsten/tin project
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed speciality metals development company Wolf Minerals has started ore processing as part of the wet commissioning of the processing plant at its Hemerdon tungsten and tin project in Devon, in the UK.
Wolf reported on Thursday that the introduction of the first ore into the plant was on schedule following the completion of construction of the processing plant and associated infrastructure.
This represented a major milestone in the development timeline of the Hemerdon project and ensured the company’s goal of delivering the first new metal mine in Great Britain for 45 years would shortly become a reality.
“After an incredibly busy 15 months, we have put the first ore into the plant at the Hemerdon project on schedule. From this point GR Engineering will continue commissioning and is scheduled to hand the plant across to Wolf in August. We remain on target to deliver initial concentrates to our offtake partners in the third quarter of this year,” said Wolf MD Russell Clark.
The design throughput of the plant was expected to be achieved in early 2016. Wolf would deliver the first tungsten concentrate to its customers in September this year.
