230-280,000 tons already completely sold . “ There are about 1,200 contractors on site at the moment completing the project ,” Howes said . “ The uranium mines require the acid to bleach out the uranium and the miners are keen to get their sulphuric acid locally as opposed to shipping in from other parts of the world .”
The site has already seen emissions reductions of more than 44 percent over the course of 2013 , with the new plant set to boost this figure even further .
Tsumeb is also improving its energy efficiency , with an 18.7 percent energy intensity decrease seen across 2013 . Chelopech saw a 10.6 reduction while Kapan achieved a 7.3 percent drop .
By continuing to pioneer greener mining techniques across all of its growing and impending production sites in Bulgaria and Armenia , Dundee Precious Metals will continue to build on its collaborative work with local communities and bring vital wealth and resources to local populations .
Such principles will not be sacrificed as the company continues to grow , with Howes determined to lead the way as a responsible miner with a worldwide presence in the future .
He concluded : “ You must earn the right as foreign company to mine another country ’ s resource – being an investor of choice is hugely important , and people want us to stay .” www . dundeeprecious . com 115
