Core Viewpoint - Kenmare Resources plc is progressing with the upgrade of its Wet Concentrator Plant A (WCP A) to facilitate mining in the Nataka ore zone, which is crucial for the company's long-term production sustainability [2][4]. Project Overview - The WCP A upgrade project is essential for transitioning to the Nataka ore zone, which contains approximately 70% of Moma's Mineral Resources and is expected to support production for over 20 years [4]. - The capital cost estimate for the WCP A upgrade project remains at $341 million, with expectations that about 80% of this capital will be deployed by the end of 2025 [6]. Production and Operations - WCP A has paused production for an estimated three to four weeks to facilitate the connection of new dredges and a new feed preparation module [9]. - The upgrade includes the addition of two high-capacity dredges and a new feed preparation module to manage higher levels of slimes in the Nataka ore, aiming to enhance mining rates and Heavy Mineral Concentrate production [5]. Timeline and Future Plans - After the production pause, WCP A is expected to ramp up to its nameplate capacity of 3,500 tonnes per hour by the end of 2025, with the transition to Nataka commencing in late Q2 2026 and expected to take approximately 18 months [10].
