RE: 15,000 tons shipment end of January confirmed by Hainan24 Jan 2026 08:20
It’s all clear in the RNS I really wish people can read. Basically 65k stockpile. 20-30k to be sent q1 2026. First shipment 15k as we know from news. Another shipment i would imagine similar volume either Feb or March. Stop making things up. They will be on a schedule with x tonnes being sent every couple of months to make 125k per year.
Mining continues at the Ngoualana open pit mine with pegmatite ore currently being blasted and mined from the middle level of the pit.
· Pegmatite ore is being hauled to the ROM stockpile with current stockpile levels of approximately 65,000 tonnes. The current mining plan provides for continued building of the stockpile with the aim of ensuring uninterrupted supply to the DMS processing plant throughout 2026.
· De-watering of the pit is continuing, and it is expected that access to the base of the pit for blasting and mining of the main pegmatite ores will soon be available. This is not impacting on mine access as pit de-watering is an ongoing standard operation required for mining activity.
· Transport of spodumene concentrate to the port of San Pedro is continuing and a second shipment of spodumene concentrate to China of 20,000-30,000 tonnes is planned for the first quarter of 2026.
