Premier African Minerals has finished installing the RHA ball mill at its Zulu lithium and tantalum project in Zimbabwe ahead of the resumption operations.
It is expected that the first material will be pushed through the mill on Monday.
Company chief executive George Roach said they have ordered all the feeds and discharge components, pumps, control circuitry, and grinding media needed to support the project's targeted output of up to 1,000 tonnes of spodumene per month beginning in November.
He said it was important for the plant to have enough ore for current processing before open-pit mining activities at Zulu can resume
Zulu's operations were put on hold last month while the mill supplied by RHA Tungsten was installed and commissioned.
The company said the RHA mill's planned relocation to Zulu was a stopgap measure.
