Latest Information
October 29, 2012
Lonmin plc announced new reserve and/or resource estimates for Marikana - Lonmin, South Africa.
February 1, 2007
A Lonmin's preliminary evaluation suggests that the current resource could support an initial mine development producing around 500,000 ounces of PGMs per annum including around 250,000 ounces of Platinum. Attributable capital expenditure for mine, concentrator and infrastructure development is estimated at US$600-700 million. A pre-feasibility study, commissioned by AfriOre and undertaken by consultant engineers SRK, is due shortly. This will provide the groundwork for a full feasibility study, a mining licence application and mine development. In addition, in-fill drilling will be undertaken to improve the level of confidence in the current resource base while exploration drilling will examine the potential of the centre and north of the Akanani lease area.
