Additional responsibilities include the balancing of trade-off studies including the comminution circuitry design; leach circuitry design and layout; and dewatering circuit configuration and design as well as the undertaking of a tailings deposition option study, techno-financial evaluations and qualitative risk assessments.
The studies will be undertaken over a period of eight weeks and will be completed alongside a drilling program for metallurgical test work confirmations and variability.
“We are pleased to appoint DRA to conduct these studies as they are highly qualified and have a strong understanding and experience with uranium mining. The appointment is a key element towards engineering and design optimization at Norasa. We are confident that the studies will highlight opportunities to improve the project economics in a market where uranium is now being treated as an environmentally sound renewable energy source,” stated Mark Frewin, CEO of Forsys.
DRA Mineral Projects appointment follows a definitive feasibility study completed in 2015 as well as a series of metallurgical test work programs and desk top studies, a review of which in 2022 identified several technical gaps and necessary upgrades.
