Project overview
About this development
Rössing Uranium Ltd is focused on extending the life of the Rossing Uranium Mine in Namibia beyond 2036. The project requires deeper mining of the same SJ ore-body through a north-eastern extension of the current pit (Phase 4 pushback) to supply the existing process plant with sufficient ore until the end of 2036 at current throughput rates of 9.2 Mt/y. The Rössing infrastructure and processing plant are also being upgraded, including the construction of a 15 MWe photovoltaic solar power plant, as well as expansion of the tailings storage facility to accommodate ten years of additional tailings from ore processing. Works may also include the construction of pilot plants - for dewatering of the tailings stream to a higher density (thickened) tailings and for onsite treatment of plant solutions to reduce freshwater consumption. GPS coordinates is -22.4521914, 150487375.
