Roan Upgrade provides additional processing capacity to existing capacity

Following the previous release announcing civil and mechanical completion on the upgrade and expansion of Roan (Roan Upgrade), the electrical control system (ECS) has now also been successfully installed and commissioned, allowing for the ramp up of production to commence.

The Jubilee team has begun with the feeding of Previously Mined Material into Roan. The material is upgraded at source before being transported to Roan where a saleable copper concentrate is produced. The copper concentrate will initially be refined to copper cathode at Sable until such time that Sable’s capacity is fully committed to the Open-pit mined material from Munkoyo and Project G whereafter the Roan concentrate will be traded on the open market.

This Roan Upgrade provides additional processing capacity complementing the existing sulphide copper concentrate capacity at Roan to a combined maximum design capacity of 13 000tpa of copper depending on the copper feed grades.
