ROSH Pinah Zinc (RPZ) and Appian Capital Advisory Limited have commissioned a new paste fill plant at the Rosh Pinah mine.
This marks a key milestone in the RP2.0 expansion project as construction progresses beyond 85% completion.
The companies say the facility, the first commissioned paste backfill operation in Namibia, forms a critical component of the expansion programme aimed at improving underground mining efficiency, reducing dilution and lowering the volume of tailings deposited on surface, while supporting improved ore recovery.
RPZ says the RP2.0 expansion, which will nearly double the mine’s processing throughput to 1.3 million tonnes per year, remains on schedule and within budget.
Completion of construction is expected in the third quarter of 2026, with ramping up to follow shortly thereafter.
