PERTH (miningweekly.com) – First phosphate product from the Baobab project, in Senegal, has been trucked to the Port of Dakar, ASX-listed Avenira reports.

“The Baobab phosphate project continues to progress steadily and it is excellent to see the first trucking of phosphate product to the stockpile at the Port of Dakar, some 145 km from the mine site,” said Avenira MD Cliff Lawrenson.

“The project is now moving into operational stage with appropriate procedures and protocols in place. As expected, the annual wet season slowed processing and drying of the phosphate product, and initial trucking operations. However, wet conditions are now easing, allowing for more routine operations with first shipping our priority.”

The Baobab project is being developed in an initial Stage 1 operation, producing 500 000 t/y of phosphate concentrate. Under close geological supervision, phosphate mineralisation has already been uncovered on the western side of the Stage 1 openpit.
