JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Premier African Minerals on Friday said the results of a review of the immediately available underground resources at its RHA tungsten project, in Zimbabwe, will be released before the end of September.
The mining and exploration company is developing a revised resource for RHA to support its underground mining activities, with the final decisions over the re-establishment of openpit operations and the further development of the X-ray transmission upgrade to be based on the update.
Detailed additional sampling and validating past results both from historic reporting and its more recent work in the openpit, have been undertaken, with a further update on the project expected in the group’s interim results, which will be released on September 27.
Meanwhile, the company also noted that the new mesh inserts for the crushing screens have been installed and commissioned.
In August, Premier announced that the original 6 mm screen did not pass material in excess of 4 mm on average, necessitating the replacement of the panels with larger 10 mm panels.
