Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM) is making headway on the installation and commissioning of the RHA Ball Mill at the company's Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project.
"I am pleased to confirm the completion of the installation of the Mill including all necessary feeds and discharge components, pumps, control circuitry and grinding media requirements that are expected to support planned production of up to 1,000 tons per month of spodumene from November 2023 at Zulu,” said chief executive George Roach.
Roach said that the commissioning phase is now planned to commence immediately, with first material expected to be fed through the Mill on Monday, 25 September.
Open pit mining operations at Zulu are expected to resume next week and while there is already substantial material on the run-of-mine pad, “it remains critical that the plant has sufficient ore for current processing”, said Roach.
Further updates will follow in Premier's unaudited interim results which will be published on 29 September 2023.
