Geology: The fluorite deposits are believed to be of hydrothermal origin in the Post-Miocene era when lavas formed a protective cap over Precambrian rocks in the area. The main deposit of fluorite is located at Kimwarer and is exposed on a series of five hills, four of which have been mined. Two other minor deposits […]

The mined ore is hauled a short distance of between 2 km and 7 km by contracted trucks to the crushing plant. The ore is first crushed in a tertiary stage crushing plant from a feed of 350 mm to less than 16mm in size. It is then conveyed to the grinding circuit where the […]

The Kimwarer ore deposit […]
