Strandline Resources Limited announced that construction of its 100%-owned Coburn mineral sands project in Western Australia continues to progress in line with its timetable and capital budget, ensuring it remains on track for first production of HMC later this year. Detailed engineering design is largely complete across the project, procurement of materials and equipment are advancing strongly, and all major construction contractors have now mobilised to site, with the latest being the power station and overhead powerline contractors. The overall project progress has reached 50% complete, remaining on-track to achieve first production of heavy HMC in the December quarter, 2022.

The company is firmly focused on managing the various risk factors associated with development, including proactively managing HSE risks, contractor performance and the potential impacts of COVID-19.
