Resumen de Sierra Rutile boosts Q2 rutile output, reduces costs
It added that "given the very high ilmenite production in the first quarter of 2015, Sierra Rutile did not require as much ilmenite in the second quarter to meet its sales plan and so has stockpiled a stream of unfinished ilmenite concentrate for processing later in the year".
Sierra Rutile added that a planned maintenance shutdown at its Lanti Dredge mine during Q2 was "completed successfully, with production achieving target levels post shutdown". Performance at the facility additionally benefitted from planned maintenance shutdowns in Q1 2015.
The company's CEO, John Sisay, said: "Q2 has been a very active successful quarter. Strong production and cost results have been accompanied with the commencement of the Gangama Dry mine construction and the definition of the Sembehun Dry Mine project."
