Kazera Global plc provided an update on operations at its Walviskop Heavy Minerals Sands ("HMS") project ('the Project') in Alexander Bay, South Africa. The Company remains focused on advancing production at its Walviskop HMS Project, in which it holds a 60% interest within its subsidiary, Whale Head Minerals (Pty) Ltd. Further to the RNS dated 5 July 2023 and in line with expectations, the manufacture of a Trommel screening plant was completed at the end of September. Having undertaken extensive inspections to ensure its efficacy, the team identified two areas of improvement to enhance the plant's performance, which will be completed in the coming weeks ahead of final sign-off and transport to site.

The Company is now focused on the preparation of the Walviskop site and the construction of the remainder of the wet concentration plant, which is underway. The plant is expected to be fully commissioned before Kazera receives its permit from the National Nuclear Regulator, enabling it to commence work as soon as the permit is issued; this is anticipated during First Quarter 2024.
