Amplats project awarded
Bateman Minerals and Industrial Limited (BMI) has been awarded a
contract by Amplats Management Services (Pty) Ltd (Amplats). It involves
the engineering, design, procurement, construction and commissioning
of plant to expand production at Potgietersrust Platinum Limited's existing
concentrator plant.
The original feasibility study carried out by BMI led to the development
of an agreement on this allowing both parties to work together as a
team.
BMI will be responsible for upgrading the storage area for the crushed
run-of-mine ore, including a new coarse ore stockpile and silos; primary
and secondary mills; a sewage water treatment plant; primary pebble,
concentrate and tailings handling circuits; water and air reticulation
systems and reagent storage areas as well as an upgrade of the existing
flotation circuit.
The contract is reimbursable with a notional value of some R 105M. It
was won against four other engineering management companies tendering
for the study. BATEMAN is a leading contractor for supply of plant for
the processing and refining of platinum group metals and has recently
been engaged on projects for Hartley Platinum (Zimbabwe), Impala Refineries
(Springs, RSA), Empress Nickel (Zimbabwe) and Bulong Nickel (Australia).
Kindly contact Mr Neill Birdsey, BMI Marketing Executive, on
