The field mobilisation and installation of the trommel (rotating wet screen) to the Vitalino prospect area is on schedule with the final field commissioning and first production run forecast to commence from Monday the 26th of November onwards. \nThe benefits from the field mobilisation of the trommel are:\n20 hours per day 5 days per week operational profile; Base-case feed rate of 100t per hour; The volume of material to be trucked to the processing plants is reduced by up to 80%; Lower rehabilitation costs as reject soils remain at site; Vitalino location allows for centralised processing from adjacent prospects; and 4mm final mesh size; with fines to be stockpiled for future refining.The trommel is now located next to its permitted water source, with the generator and water pipeline installed, temporary tailings dam constructed and feeder hopper ready for installation (Photo 1). Colluvial feed with manganese oxides have been stockpiled on site, and final assembly is ongoing.\nThe Company has also submitted additional requests for water permits and plans to mobilise the Rio Madeira trommel to the field during the 1st Quarter of 2019.
