(Alliance News) - Sovereign Metals Ltd on Wednesday said that it has successfully installed and commissioned an industrial-scale spiral concentrator plant at its laboratory and testing facility.
Sovereign Metals is a mining exploration and development company. Its facility is in Lilongwe, Malawi.
The plant will allow Sovereign to process material from the test pit mined as part of the pilot mining and land rehabilitation at the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite project.
"The new infrastructure allows Sovereign to deliver large-scale graphite pre-concentrate for qualification by its future potential customers. With a simple and conventional process flowsheet, Kasiya ore is processed at a throughput rate of up to 3 tonnes per hour for continuous sample preparation. Our PFS optimisation continues to advance as planned with oversight from the Sovereign-Rio Tinto Technical Committee," said Managing Director Frank Eagar.
Shares in Sovereign Metals closed 6.2% higher at 32.28 pence each in London on Wednesday.
