Preliminary Sandawana tests ‘are encouraging’

THE management at Sandawana Mine (Sandawana) says significant progress has been made in preliminary metallurgical tests for onsite lithium mining and processing plans.
Sandawana was previously one of the world’s largest emerald mines, but it closed years ago after production fell and markets dried up.
Kuvimba Mining House now intends to restart the mine as a lithium producer.
“We have done the first metallurgical test work and the results we got so far are very encouraging,” Sandawana’s general manager Godwin Gambiza told The Financial Gazette recently.
