Solution Provided Hide full profile
Tawana (in conjunction with AMAL) has engaged Primero to commence works on a 1.2Mtpa front end spodumene concentrator utilising dense medium separation to produce a coarse (+1mm) spodumene product of 6.0% Li2O. The -1mm material from this new concentrator will be stockpiled for future processing. All secondary DMS floats material (+1mm) will be stockpiled for future consideration.
Primero has been engaged to complete the detailed design and to order long lead capital items including parts of the DMS plant and tails thickener. These items represent key components in the process flowsheet for the spodumene concentrator.
The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract is being finalised and is expected to be awarded in early June 2017. This project has been fast tracked from an initial concept in December 2016. Primero completed a detailed feasability study in the first quarter of 2017 with detailed design and procurement in May 2017.
Primero has achieved this aggressive timeline by utilising its expertise in the lithium space to deliver a functional design that meets Tawana’s needs. Primero has recently completed and commissioned a DMS lithium plant in Western Australia and is currently involved in several significant lithium projects within Australia and overseas.
