Adamus Resources Limited - Heavy Equipment Shipped to Site
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
PERTH, Western Australia, July 6 /CNW/ -
CRUSHER ARRIVED
As scheduled Adamus' Metso Nordberg crusher has been delivered to site and is in secure storage awaiting installation. The C140 Single Toggle Jaw Crusher, driven by a 200kw motor will weigh in at 46 tonnes fully assembled.
It travelled well and without incident.
SAG MILL SHIPPED
Again as scheduled, Adamus' completed Outotec Semi Autogenous Grind ("SAG") mill shell was last week loaded for shipping from Sweden to Ghana.
Outotec Grate Discharge SAG Mill - 5.5M x 7.32EGL (EGL means effective grinding length) with 3500Kw installed power will be capable of processing at a rate of up to 2.1mtpa of ore when fed soft oxide material for the first few years and will have a minimum throughput of 1.6mtpa on the harder Anwia sulphide ore scheduled towards the end of the project. Adamus expects to average 2.0mtpa throughput or better with blended ore types.
The ship is expected in Ghana late July. The mill heads, gears and ancillary items are to follow prior to installation.
It is planned that the crusher and SAG mill will be installed to their site foundations at the same time using a 270t crane. Optimising craneage, it is planned that top-of-tank steel will also be craned into position at this time.
Adamus remains on-track to pour gold in approximately 6 months time during Q1 2011.
