Production starts at Vast’s Romanian polymetallic mine

Aim-listed Vast Resources has conducted the first blast at the 1.8-million-ton openpit Manaila polymetallic mine, in northern Romania, and has started the first production of concentrate at its subsidiary Sinarom Mining Group’s processing facility, in nearby Iacobeni. Vast acquired a 50.1% interest in Sinarom – the owner of the Manaila mine – earlier this year, with the acquisition remaining subject only to the requirements of Romanian law, which provided that any company share sale be gazetted for a period of 30 days before the transfer could be registered at the Romanian Trade Registry.
