Expansion project in the Great Dyke area could come on stream as early as 2020
London — Platinum group metals miner Tharisa is expanding into Zimbabwe with a drilling programme that could deliver results early in 2020 and develop the company’s exposure to battery minerals, its CEO says.
“The world’s parking lots are still dominated by internal combustion engines and will be for some time,” CEO Phoevos Pouroulis said on Wednesday. “Tharisa already has some copper and nickel,” Pouroulis said. “In Zimbabwe the component is materially larger in terms of copper and nickel and even a small amount of cobalt.”
“On the ground, things are efficient and effective and we are pleasantly surprised,” he said, when asked about political instability in Zimbabwe.
