Word on the streets of Lilongwe is the steel table in your photo is a mould for making lead batteries , the grade at the mine is so high they just get the powdered lead at the mine site , put it in a mould in the table above then hook a positive and negative cable to the lead mould after it has been heated to 300 degrees celcius and then remove from the mould and sell the batteries directly for all Toyota battery needs in Africa.
I am very optimistic we have hit the jack pot especially since I was told that the ore is so high grade in Pb and strontium 90 that the battery never needs to be recharged -its literally the gift that keeps on giving !
