ASX-listed Sovereign Metals says several geotechnical drilling programmes are now under way at its Kasiya rutile/graphite project, in Malawi.

The results of the programmes will be used to support the infrastructure layout and engineering design for the project’s definitive feasibility study (DFS), which is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter.

Infrastructure covered by the geotechnical programmes includes the processing plant areas, the tailings storage facility area, the raw water storage dam, the Kasiya substation and other mining infrastructure.

Various geotechnical and geophysics methods are being used across the project site area.

“Following the completion of our optimised prefeasibility study in January, DRA and a number of Tier One consultants have been appointed to advance the DFS in combination with our highly experienced owner’s team.

“Comprehensive data is being gathered from these field programmes and will determine optimal locations for our key project infrastructure. We remain on track to complete a DFS in [the fourth quarter],” MD Frank Eagar says.

The Sovereign-Rio Tinto Technical Committee is overseeing the programmes.
