Production at Avenira phosphate project imminent

First production at ASX-listed Avenira’s Baobab phosphate project, in Senegal, is expected in a few weeks. The company on Thursday reported that it had reached another milestone at the 80%-owned project, with the start of commissioning of its wet plant. “If progress continues to the current plan, we anticipate producing the first saleable product in the next few weeks. It has been an exceptional outcome to advance the project as quickly as we have,” MD Cliff Lawrenson said in a statement.
