Base Resources’ Q4 2019 Activities Report
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 Q4 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 operations at Kwale steadily increased production following a ramp up in mining operations last quarter after the successful transition of mining operations to the South Dune orebody. As expected, heavy mineral (HM) grades increased as mining advanced from the lower grade fringes towards the centre of the orebody.
Mining operations continued on the South Dune orebody with mined tonnage of 4.6Mt, lower than the 4.9Mt for Q3 2019. Base confirmed that productivity was impacted by lower face heights and reduced water pressures as the hydro mining guns approached the end of the current mining blocks and the distance from the pumping stations increased. As hydraulic mining units are re-located to new mining blocks during the coming quarter, productivity is expected to improve.
