Premier restarts Zulu lithium plant
Aim-listed Premier African Minerals has provided an update on the plant status and flotation plant test run at Zulu lithium and tantalum project, in Zimbabwe, following the installation of spodumene float section inserts.
Installation of spodumene float section inserts is complete and the plant restarted on July 6.
As previously announced, the purpose of the installation and commissioning of the inserts is to reduce the retention time of concentrates in the cleaner section of the original float plant and, in so doing, improve grade and recovery.
“Thanks to the outstanding support we have received from each of the original equipment manufacturer suppliers associated with all the plant components from the mill to final flotation, we have been able to restart the plant.
“The plant has run with limited feed to allow for checks on the operation of each of the plant components and process integration up to the spodumene cleaner cell inserts that will be brought into the process today once sealants have hardened,” says CEO George Roach.
“All being well, ore from the run-of-mine pad will be fed from today and commissioning and optimisation of the primary spodumene flotation plant will follow,” he adds.
