The mine, which is situated approximately 80 kilometres east of Swakopmund in Namibia’s Namib Naukluft National Park, has been in care and maintenance since May 2018 due to sustained low uranium prices. The Paladin Board has made the decision to return the Langer Heinrich Mine to production with first volumes targeted for the March quarter of CY2024.
The restart scope of work will focus on general repairs and refurbishment required to return the existing process plant to operational readiness, coupled with the delivery of process upgrades to increase throughput capacity and operational availability.
