Rosh Pinah 2.0 expansion project approaches 50% completion

The Rosh Pinah 2.0 expansion project is steadily progressing, with construction now halfway complete. Internal finishes for production offices are underway, while new carports have been opened for employees. 

The project is further bolstered by the recent tendering of new changing houses.

The expansion aims to increase mill throughput from 0.7 million tonnes to 1.3 million tonnes of ore per annum, increasing zinc equivalent production to 170 million pounds per annum on average.

“Exciting developments include the production offices, which are currently getting their internal finishes and are beginning to take shape beautifully. Additionally, the new carports are being opened up to employees, providing them with convenient and much-needed parking solutions,” said the company.

Moreover, tenders for the construction of new changing houses have been published, marking another milestone in this ambitious project. 

“We are thrilled to see these advancements and are looking forward to the continued transformation and growth at Rosh Pinah Zinc,” said Rosh Pinah.

This comes as last year June, mining-focused investment adviser Appian Capital Advisory completed the acquisition of a controlling 89.96% stake in the Rosh Pinah zinc/lead mine from Trevali Mining for an undisclosed amount. 

This acquisition follows Trevali being granted a sales and investment solicitation process order by the British Columbia Supreme Court, enabling them to divest their controlling stake in the Namibia mine.

Rosh Pinah operates as an underground zinc/lead mine with a milling operation capable of processing 2,000 tonnes per day.

With controlling ownership in Appian’s hands, the company leveraged its technical and operational capabilities to restart the Rosh Pinah 2.0 mine expansion project.

The expansion project involves the construction of new processing facilities, including a paste fill and water treatment plant, as well as the addition of a dedicated portal and decline to access extended deposits.

Rosh Pinah has been in continuous operation since 1969, producing zinc and lead sulphide concentrates, alongside smaller quantities of copper, silver and gold.
