Gravity separation is the most well-proven
and accepted technique of concentrating
minerals and has been used as a
primary form of mineral concentration
for centuries. Due to its high efficiency
and low cost, gravity separation is
always the first consideration in any
flowsheet development program and
always features in any flowsheet where
there is sufficient differences between
the specific gravity of the valuable and
gangue minerals

WPS sales will be this year reading the March RNS Leachplant and the mine wont.

I am here until takeover anyway so not fussed either way.

It will depend completely on the type of production and how far down the line the plant is.......
There are many different ways of construction.....buy the parts and assemble on site....costly and takes longer.
or
buy the finished plant so that it is delivered in sections......and assembled on site.
Which one is being bought for Kabwe, do we know....?
If its the later the assembly and testing could be achieved in 3 months.
Just a thought guys....any ideas anyone?

they should of started constructing the feed plant by then fr the WPS, perhaps that is what he means. Ljc unless they get their fingers out meaningful production will not be this year.

in March

I think we are all getting confused as to what MA means by processing....

This is how I see it:

So we start of by processing the WPS with MGS as stated here

Ascot has provided the Company with a processing report for the Washplant tailings which commences with multi-gravity separation. As a result of the report produced by Ascot, the Directors believe that BMR can produce a concentrate containing not less than 40% zinc and lead combined, within the current calendar year. Such a concentrate would be suitable for immediate sale or for further processing

Now this has nothing to do with the leachplant which MA wants to take to the 2nd stage of processing as stated here:

As soon as processing and sale of the Washplant tailings material is under way, Ascot will also be designing a processing plant for the Leachplant tailings and bringing forward proposals to mine and process the partly mined or un-mined ores in the former Kabwe mine itself.

So Basically we are going to sell the WPS after some processing and then the leachplant material will be further processed to obtain other metals as well...

The WPS will be this year and could be quite soon but the leachplant processing will happen later.

What do you guys think???

Masoud is saying Kabwe will start around the same time as Bwana Mkubwa
by August, of course ill believe it when i see it.

2nd stage maybe not but I reckon the first stage will be this year...

Yes

Sorry frey talking about Kabwe only.

So you know that the plant is not being built or hasn't been built already???
