Uranex appoints MDM for Heap Leach PFS in Tanzania
MDM Engineering Group Limited ("MDM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has been appointed as the metallurgical engineering consultant for the Manyoni Heap Leach Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in Tanzania.
Uranex's Managing Director, John Cottle, said, "We are delighted to welcome MDM to our PFS team and look forward with confidence to their expert technical input and contribution to our Manyoni Heap Leach PFS, which remains on schedule for completion in the September Quarter, 2010."
The Manyoni project is near surface, in largely unconsolidated clay, sand, and weathered product host sediments, which suggest low mining costs and straightforward, conventional processing. The testwork at Manyoni has to date shown the potential amenability to heap leach processing.
George Bennett, MDM Executive Director stated, "MDM will bring their full uranium experience and technical expertise to bear on the Manyoni project and we are confident that we will deliver a quality PFS on behalf of Uranex. MDM looks forward to working with the Uranex team on this project."
