Name of the Project
Moeijelijk mine chrome spiral circuit wash plant and primary crushing circuit.
Location
Limpopo, South Africa.
Client
Bauba Platinum.
Project Description
The project will upgrade Moeijelijk’s current chrome ore run-of-mine (RoM) saleable product into lumpy- and then foundry-, chemical- and metallurgical-grade concentrates.
The crushing circuit will have a capacity of 41 000 t/m of chrome ore RoM. Lumpy chrome ore, which also attracts a pricing premium to RoM, will be screened during this crushing process.
The spiral wash plant will have a planned feed capacity of 35 000 t/m.
This plant allows for increased production when Bauba’s underground mine is at stable production of 30 000 t/m. Stable planned underground production is still on track to be achieved by the first half of Bauba’s 2019 financial year.
