Successful completion of number one furnace rebuild
Lonmin is pleased to announce the successful completion of the planned extensive
rebuild of the number one furnace. The rebuild was completed safely in 27 days
(matte tap to matte tap) some 5 days ahead of schedule. The project was also
completed on budget. The work completed included the replacement of all the
copper waffles within the furnace and should allow us to run the furnace
continuously for a period of around 2 years with only tap hole maintenance.
Alistair Ross, President Lonmin Platinum said:
"I am delighted we have completed the rebuild in record time and within budget.
This was made possible by the strong partnership forged between Lonmin and our
key contractor on the project ANMAR. I would like to thank all the members of
the Lonmin and ANMAR teams for their hard work in making this happen."
