Orion starts optimisation work at Prieska

ASX-listed Orion Mining has started a number of work streams following the release of a positive bankable feasibility study (BFS) for its Prieska copper/zinc project, in South Africa.

Orion on Tuesday said that work has now started on completing pilot-scale field trials on various aspects of mine dewatering, including the testing of water qualities, refining the proposed pumping system, and investigating means of cost-effective water treatment.
