Speaking to Mining Zimbabwe, Prospect Resources Managing Director Mr Sam Hosack stated that identifying these exploratory targets puts Prospect on the right track to keep funding exploration projects going.
“We are going to fund further exploration so we can realise some value from our skills and knowledge,” said Hosack.
Furthermore, Hosack mentioned that the initiative of sponsoring exploratory projects is only for a short term period.
“This is a plan for the short term future,” said Hosack.
Speaking on the Arcadia project, mining will be carried out by hydraulic, track-mounted backhoe excavators, with ore and waste hauled by off-road dump trucks, according to the business plans.
“It is planned that the company mining will be performed by hydraulic, track-mounted backhoe excavators with ore and waste hauled using off-road dump trucks.”
The company went on to say that open-pit mining method is the most convenient and economic extraction, due to the shallowness of the ore body.
Currently, Prospect’s Arcadia project is deemed as Africa’s most advanced lithium development making it the only independent, shovel-ready project globally without offtake locked up as well as one of the world’s premier hard rock lithium assets.
