Phase 1 expansion project
§ Approved in May 2006 at cost of USD258 million.§ In May 2007 cost revised to USD340 million.§ Cost increase mainly due to re-configuration of new
concentrator, increase in steel prices as well as the overvalued ZWD.
§ Project consists of 1,2 mtpa Portal 1 (to replace the open cast mine), 1.5 mtpa Portal 4 , 2 mtpa concentrator , 715 employee houses and related infrastructure.
§ Project will enable replacement of open cast ore and increase annual platinum production from 97 000 oz to 160 000 oz from FY11
§ Portal 1 scheduled to commence production in October 2008.
§ Portal 4 and new concentrator to commence full production in June 2010.
