22.11.2016 | ABN Newswire
Perth - MZI Resources Ltd. (ASX:MZI) is pleased to announce that commissioning of the Keysbrook Wet Concentrator Plant (WCP) Optimisation Project is in progress.Following receipt of Shire and Regulatory approvals, installation of new equipment (high performance spirals and screen) has been completed and commissioning has commenced.
The WCP Optimisation Project is designed to improve recovery of Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) and increase HMC final grade to achieve design criteria for both parameters. The higher HMC grade will then enable the processing plant at Doral Picton, where MZI has a toll treating agreement, to be optimised to achieve design product throughput and recoveries.
Results from this Optimisation project will be communicated once the new equipment has been fully commissioned and HMC production has stabilised.
MZI Interim Managing Director, Dr Steve Ward commented "We are very pleased to commence commissioning of this project. It is the key enabler for us to complete project ramp-up and achieve design production rates and performance criteria. We look forward to communicating further when results are available."
