Speciality Metals International Limited ("SEI") through its Joint Venture ("JV") with CRONIMET Australia Pty Ltd. ("CRONIMET") [Mt Carbine Retreatment Management Pty Ltd. ("MCRM")] announced that the on-site team have been working throughout January 2020 to debottleneck individual equipment and increase throughput tonnages through the newly refurbished Mt Carbine Retreatment Plant. The on-site team have been optimising processes to achieve longer sustained production throughputs at increasing plant feed rates. MCRM has also just received its laboratory equipment including an X-ray Fluorescent ("XRF") Analyser which will greatly assist the technical team in their efforts of continuous optimisation of the process plant and the production of consistent, commercial concentrate.
