The processing of platinum-group element (PGE) tailings at the Dilokong chrome mine, near Burgersfort, in Limpopo, is expected to start within the next three months after dual-listed Jubilee Platinum secured sufficient funding for the project.

Recommissioning

The mine-to-metals specialist, which was awarded the rights to recover the metals from an estimated 800 000 t of high-PGE-bearing dumped chromite tailings on the mine last year, embarked on the $750 000 processing plant recommissioning, after concluding the funding arrangement, which included a $10-million debt offering.

“Jubilee has targeted an initial pro-cessing rate of 10 000 t/m, ramping up to a targeted 25 000 t/m within four months of operation. Jubilee is currently in discus-sions with the community to access a second road link to allow the targeted pro-cessing capacity to increase to 35 000 t/m,” CEO Leon Coetzer said last week.
