Namakwa Sands Expansion Project, Western Cape.

Expansion of the Namakwa Sands heavy mineral sands and smelting facilities located on the West Coast in the Western Cape of South Africa. The expansion will increase the output of zircon and rutile products by approximately 25% through increasing the mining and concentration plants' capacities. This will allow for the existing installed capacity of the Mineral Separation Plant to be fully utilised. In addition, the project will allow for hard mineralised material that is currently rejected in the process and returned to the mine, to be treated. Project value: R320 million.
