Project overview
About this development
The deposit is located at Malingunde, just 15km south-west of Lilongwe, Malawi's capital. The geometry of the Malingunde deposit is one of several high-grade, shallow to moderate north-east-dipping mineralised zones. Sovereign is targeting the near-surface, soft saprolite portion of the resource to a maximum vertical depth of about 25m. This results in several, long, shallow open pits in the mining plant. The tailings, management facility for the project has been designed to safely contain the LoM estimated tailings of 7.3 million tonnes. The capital costs have been estimated at US$29 million. The exact co-ordinates are currently not available however the approximate area of location is lat: -14.0552472, long: 33.6777937.
