Orion presents case for first 10 years of Prieska mine

With a resource upgrade in hand, base metals mine developer Orion Minerals on Wednesday presented the outcomes of a scoping study for its Prieska zinc/copper project in South Africa’s Northern Cape.

The study investigated the economic viability of an initial ten-year phase of underground mining to extract portions of the 28.73-million tonne resource at Prieska.
