:: AREVA Namibia Donates Laboratory Equipment and Chemical Reagents to NUST
AREVA Namibia and the Department of Mining and Metallurgy at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) recently concluded a scoping study arising from a technical cooperation agreement for test work on uranium processing and metallurgy between the two entities. The partnership commenced at the beginning of 2016.
The technical partnership centred around test work on the Trekkopje uranium resource of AREVA Namibia, which is a low-grade deposit. The focus of this particular study was to reduce the costs of uranium recovery during leaching by employing flotation as a means of removing reagent consuming minerals. The findings of the study will be published, and shared at the upcoming International Uranium Conference, taking place in Swakopmund during September. In addition, Ms Foibe Uahengo, a post-graduate student at NUST, will continue with additional test work as part of her PhD study during 2017.
