Trigon has signed an agreement with Tulela to commence with equipment mobilization and site establishment from August 2021, with open pit mining planned to commence by October 2021.
Tulela was selected by Trigon in for its extensive open pit operating experience in sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular its knowledge of the area in which the Kombat Mine is situated, being a locally Namibian owned and operated company.
Tulela provides mining and construction services and has historically been involved in operations at Vedanta Zinc International's Skorpion Zinc mine in Namibia well as at Chingola in Zambia. The group also offers processing, engineering and logistics solutions, which enables Tulela to provide a full suite of services to its clients across the value chain. In support of Trigon's emphasis on local employment creation, Tulela aims to employ operational staff from the immediate region. The management team of Tulela has extensive experience in open pit mining and underground mining. A brand new fleet of trucks and shovels is destined for this project to ensure that efficient production volumes will support the business plan.
Jed Richardson, President and CEO of Trigon, said, "The appointment of Tulela as our open pit mining contractor is a milestone in our move towards production. Activities at site continue to advance daily and we remain on track to achieve our target of production by the end of the year."
About Kombat Mine
