The Kropz Plc Elandsfontein project in South Africa is building up stock for its first bulk sale, expected in late 2022. As of Oct. 24, Kropz said some 18,500 mt of phosphate rock concentrate was in stock at the Saldanha Bay storage facility.
The London-based firm said Elandsfontein continues to make progress during its ramp-up phase and has moved to a revised shift cycle, which has shown improved plant performance. Although optimization at the plant is still ongoing, it said there have been meaningful improvements in the plant running times, leading to improved plant stability, which has contributed to increased concentrate production.
