PGM feed grades in ROM material remain at a lower level at the Mooinooi operation during the quarter: Investigation of potential solutions undertaken in conjunction with the host mine have proven positive. Preferred ore sources have been identified which have led to improved ROM feed grades post quarter end. This is expected to improve PGM grades and therefore production and output in the coming months
The new Lesedi tailings storage facility ("TSF") has been completed and commissioning of the tailings deposition facility commenced in February; Cold commissioning of the new Lesedi MF2 project commenced during March 2022 and circuit optimisation is in progress. First slurry was treated post-period end; Tweefontein MF2 remains on track for commissioning H1 FY2023;Production is expected to increase significantly during the next quarter due to progress at Lesedi and the improvements identified post quarter end at Mooinoi.
I am expecting a strong operational performance from all operations during the final quarter of FY2022 based on initial positive results at Mooinooi to improve ROM feed grades in collaboration with our host mine, and at Lesedi, where production is expected to increase significantly during the next quarter as feed is stabilised and the MF2 circuit optimised. This should enable us to achieve the target production of 66,000 to 68,000 ounces for FY2022 as communicated earlier."
UPDATE
The Group is pleased to report a strong finish to its financial year and has achieved the mid-range of its target production of 66,000 to 68,000 ounces for FY2022.
