Project Description
The Tshipi Borwa manganese mine expansion project concept study has been completed, with a comprehensive feasibility study expected to start soon.
The feasibility study will be based on a production profile of 4.5-million tonnes (base case) – a 50% increase on the current three-million-tonne production level.
This is based solely on ore reserves, with probable ore reserves at 52% and proved ore reserves at 48%). Subject to the completion of the feasibility study and commercial process, with both expected to collectively take one year, Tshipi could reach steady-state exports of 4.5-million tonnes in three years.
