Madagascar-focused miner Tirupati Graphite has announced that a second preconcentrate plant at the Vatomina project will be complete by the end of October.
The company is optimising its processing plant by improving the ore’s head grade from 3% to more than 4%, to reach 18 000 t/y capacity, compared with 12 000 t/y currently.
Tirupati’s initial preconcentrate plant achieved nameplate ore feed capacity of 600 t/d at the start of September, and will be synchronised with the second preconcentrate plant soon.
Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India, with a vision of developing a world-leading benchmark flake graphite company.
