Premier selects openpit strategy for early production at RHA

Multicommodity explorer Premier African Minerals has outlined what it describes as a low-capital implementation strategy for its 49%-owned RHA tungsten project, in Zimbabwe. The Aim-traded miner said on Tuesday that the assessment of various implementation strategies to enhance project value and reduce start-up capital costs had culminated in a decision to start operations with an openpit mine, limited to an initial 18-month production period that had the potential to fully finance underground operations.
