This comes as the company started commissioning the first ion-exchange (IX) circuit within the processing plant.
The IX circuit will drive efficiencies at Honeymoon, increasing throughput to a nameplate capacity of 2.45-million pounds a year, while reducing ramp-up time and technical risks.
The IX milestone follows the continuous operation of the wellfields, water treatment plant, reverse osmosis system and required agents.
