Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Kuvimba Mining House (KMH) plans to invest US$250 million into the construction of a beneficiation plant at its lithium mine operation, Sandawana Mines.<\/p>\n

KMH is 65% owned by the government. It took over Sandawana Mines in 2019 and has so far invested US$56 million.<\/p>\n

Sandawana Mines general manager Godwin Gambiza told The Standard in an interview last week during a media tour of the mine that KMH has commenced feasibility studies for a 4.5 million-tonne per annum beneficiation plant. Said Gambiza:<\/p>\n

The beneficiation plant, it has got two phases. Phase one of it is the dense medium separation. We have budgeted about US$50 million for that.<\/p>\n

Phase two of the beneficiation plant is the floatation plant itself.<\/p>\n

For that one we\u2019ve budgeted US$200 million. So, altogether that gives you US$250 million for a combined beneficiation plant.<\/p>\n

The work has already commenced in terms of the feasibility studies.<\/p>\n

Some metallurgical tests are being conducted on our material so that we can establish the stability of our own.<\/p>\n

But looking at the timelines themselves, we are saying in 12 to 18 months we should have completed everything, including the commissioning of the plants.<\/p>\n

KMH Group chief executive officer Simba Chinyemba said that they are currently evaluating joint venture potential with some of the world\u2019s largest companies in the lithium battery technology space.<\/p>\n

Sandawana Mine is situated in the Mberengwa District and is rich in vast mineral resources that include tantalite, mica, emeralds, copper and gold.<\/p>\n

The mining lease and claim holdings cover a 21-kilometre-long strip along the Mweza Mountain Range.<\/p>\n
