:: Conquest Commissions 2 HMS Plants

Perth-based Conquest Mining Ltd has commissioned two Heavy Media Separation plants for its Argyle and Ellendale Diamond Projects in the East and West Kimberley areas of Western Australia.

The agreement is for the supply of a mobile Heavy Media Separation (HMS) plant and a large scale HMS processing plant and it gives Conquest exclusive coverage subject to terms for a period of up to nine months during the current Dry Season Program.

The agreement, with NTF Processing, is for a mobile He plant capable of processing 1000 to 2000 tonnes per month and a larger Heavy Media Separation plant capable of processing 10,000 tonnes per month.

Conquest has a 2000 to 3000 tonne bulk sampling program planned for the Bow River alluvial diamond project, near Lake Argyle, commencing as soon as environmental approvals have been obtained. Conquest also intends to undertake a 1000 tonne bulk-sampling program at Ellendale17 later in the season.
