Alara Resources (ASX:AUQ) is poised to begin hot commissioning activities for its one million tonnes per annum copper-concentrator plant at the Al Wash-hi Majaza project in Oman.
Along with its joint venture partner, Al Hadeetha Resources, Alara introduced crushing waste rocks through its SAG mill, with load tests completed at 60 per cent capacity.
In the meantime, all plant equipment is now onsite and fully functioning as the team looks to ramp up processing by introducing copper ore.
AUQ Managing Director Atmavireshwar Sthapak said the milestone marked an “exciting time for Alara, Al Hadeetha and all its partners”.
“The Al Wash-hi Majaza project is transformational for our business and provides the base for sustainable growth in the Sultanate of Oman,” he said.
Alara previously endured a manufacturing error in December 2023, with its SAG mill high speed (HS) couplings during its dry commissioning phase. New sets of HS couplings were delivered and replaced in January 2024.
AUQ shares last traded at 3.4 cents.
