MDM Engineering awarded Rand Uranium scoping study

MDM Engineering Group Ltd (AIM: MDM), the minerals process and project management group that provides services to the mining industry in Africa, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the contract to undertake a scoping study for Rand Uranium (Pty) Ltd.

The scoping study will explore the economic viability of reprocessing medium grade gold and uranium tailings and the retreatment of the concentrate at a new plant as supplementary feed. 

The tailings will be fed from Rand Uranium's Millsite, Lindum and Old 4 dumps situated in the Westonaria region of South Africa. 

Rand Uranium (Pty) Ltd is a company spun out of gold major Harmony Gold which holds a 40% stake with the remaining 60% interest owned by US-backed Pamodzi Resource Fund.  

The MDM Engineering team has a 20 year track record of undertaking scoping and feasibility studies, including designing and constructing some 52 metallurgical plants throughout Africa.  The team's previous uranium experience includes the construction of two leach uranium plants in South Africa and a Definitive Costing Study in Zambia.

Grant Lowman, MDM Engineering CEO commented:

'We are delighted to have been awarded this scoping study for another gold and uranium tailings treatment. We look forward to establishing a strong working relationship with Rand Uranium as our team builds on its substantial experience and reputation in the uranium industry
