The Rosh Pinah 2.0 expansion project to increase mill throughput from 0.7 million tonnes to 1.3 million tonnes of ore per annum is almost 50% complete.
The 2.0 expansion project envisages the construction of new processing facilities, including adding a paste fill and water treatment plant and a dedicated portal and decline to extended deposits.
The mine near the Rosh Pinah town in the Karas region sits on a 782.34ha and operates under licence 39.
Appian Capital Advisory acquired Trevali Mining Corporation’s 89.96% interest in the Rosh Pinah zinc mine in June 2023.
When Appian Capital Advisory acquired the majority stake, Rosh Pinah was producing 2,000 tonnes per day.
The company announced then that it would restart the Rosh Pinah 2.0 mine expansion project, which would nearly double the annual ore throughput to 1.3 million tonnes and improve safety and environmental performance.

The project will increase mill throughput from 0.7 million tonnes to 1.3 million tonnes of ore per annum, on average, increasing zinc equivalent production to 170 million pounds per annum.
An update on LinkedIn on Monday says the production offices are getting internal finishings.
The new carports are also open to employees, providing convenient and much-needed parking solutions.
The tenders for new changing houses have been published, marking another milestone in the ambitious project.
“We are thrilled to see these advancements and look forward to the continued transformation and growth at Rosh Pinah Zinc,” the update says.
