Xinfa Aurum Exploration installs beneficiation plant at Bua's Votua bauxite mining site

Xinfa Aurum Explorations (Fiji) Limited is constructing a beneficiation plant at its Votua bauxite mining site in Lekutu, Bua.

Beneficiation of bauxite involves screening of the ore followed by a wash to remove fine particles. The screened ore is then placed on stockpiles before being loaded onto the ships.

Xinfa Aurum Explorations Mine Manager, Basilio Vanuaca says, the bauxite extracted at the Votua mining site has more soil content than that extracted at Nawailevu. It is estimated that a stock of three million tonnes of bauxite is ready to undergo beneficiation before the purified ore is shipped to China.

Vanuaca said, 400,000 tonnes of bauxite is expected to be extracted and purified from this site which would rake in about $16 million in revenue.
