Langer Heinrich tests processing tech

Ore from the Langer Heinrich mine is being put to the test as Marenica moves to show prospective uranium companies the benefits of using U-pgrade processing technology.Paladin's Langer Heinrich mine will be the first mining operation to make use of the technology.Marenica CEO Murray Hill welcomed the development.“The aim of the test work is to confirm the substantial benefits expected from implementation of Marenica's proprietary U-pgrade process on the ore. It is expected that the test work will indicate reduced unit operating costs, a substantial benefit in their own right, and which could also enhance future production expansion opportunities at Langer Heinrich,” he said.Marenica expects the test programme to be completed early in the December quarter of 2017, he added.Hill also pointed out that Marenica would not be discouraged by Paladin's administration woes. Paladin Energy Limited owns 75% of the Langer Heinrich uranium mine. “With Paladin in administration the final ownership of the mine may not be known for a period of time. Nevertheless, successful test work results of the U-pgrade application are expected to provide operating costs benefits to the mine, irrespective of the owner,” said Hill.OGONE TLHAGE
