Elemental Royalties Limited, (“Elemental”), a private company expanding a diversified portfolio of mineral royalties, is pleased to comment on the recent announcement made by Base Resources Limited (“Base”) of that company’s Q2 2019 activities report. Base is the operator of the Kwale mineral sands project located in Kenya, on which Elemental Royalties holds a 0.25% GRR royalty.

Elemental is pleased to note the positive report from Base, where the focus was the transition of mining operations to the South Dune orebody in June, following depletion of the Central Dune, with mining successfully recommencing after a 14-day transition shutdown. During this period, the mineral separation plant operated on stockpiled heavy mineral concentrate to ensure uninterrupted production.

Elemental notes that total operating costs were marginally lower than the previous quarter due to lower mining volumes which, when combined with higher production volumes, resulted in a lower unit operating cost of US$127 per tonne produced (rutile, ilmenite, zircon and low-grade zircon) (Q1-19: US$138 per tonne). Unit operating costs are higher than the same period last year (Q2-8 quarter: US$102 per tonne) due to lower MSP feed and therefore lower production volumes this quarter.
