Nevsun Provides Further Update on Operations
Nevsun Resources Ltd <
http://www.nevsun.com/investors/>. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE
MKT: NSU) (Nevsun or the Company) reports that the repairs to the
mechanical issue with the ball mill, previously reported on March 13,
2015, are ongoing and the Bisha plant remains on-track for re-start
later this week. While there was an act of vandalism at the Bisha plant
late last week, there was no significant impact to operations and no
personnel were harmed.
The equipment supplier Thyssen-Krupp AG, who had mobilized to site, have
nearly completed replacement of the ball mill gear box bearings and
re-installation of the gearbox is imminent. During the outage, some
additional preventative plant maintenance that was scheduled for Q2 2015
was accelerated and ore mining was switched to waste mining to
facilitate ongoing strip requirements.
The Bisha Mine experienced an act of vandalism on March 20 during the
nightshift in which minor damages were sustained to the base of the
tailings thickener, resulting in the release of water into the plant
area. The required repairs and cleanup from the incident were minor and
are incorporated into the plant re-start later this week. Additional
safeguards have been adopted to ensure site and personnel safety and
security while the Eritrean and mine security forces undertake an
investigation.
