Slime

Are there any heavy mineral sand deposits with prohibiting amounts of slime? And in that case, how would a submission be evaluated: the webinar mentioned that samples from the Jangamo district will be used to evaluate the solutions, and it has very little slime.

Hi Morten, the data given is an average across the area and various lithological units. There are areas and units within Mutamba with elevated slimes (up to ~7-8 %). For other deposits like RBM, the slimes content can be higher. It will be a great advantage to design a solution that can handle slimes (>8 %) since our current dredging mining method suffers with elevated slimes
