Arcadia on track for first production in 2019
The 1.2-million-tonne-a-year process plant will produce 75 000 t/y of spodumene concentrate, ramping up to 123 000 t/y, 155 000 t/y of petalite, and 88 000 lb/y of tantalite over the 15-year mine life.
The project is estimated to require a capital investment of $52.5-million, and will deliver a life-of-mine revenue of around $2-billion.
