Savannah Resources: Study Confirms Long Life for Mutamba

Savannah Resources PLC (SAV.LN) said Tuesday it found from a study that the Mutamba mineral sands project will have a 30-year life and that it will need modest investments.

The Mutamba mineral sands project, for which a first production of ilmenite and non-magnetic concentrate is targeted in 2020, is being developed by Savannah and Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN).

Savannah said the project will need a pre-production investment of $152 million and a contingency of $74 million.
