Base achieves near-record production, ups 2017 guidance on all commodities

Following consistent production rates achieved at its Kwale mineral sands operation in Kenya, East Africa, over the June 2016 quarter, dual-listed Base Resources has decided to increase its production guidance for the 2017 financial year (FY) across all mineral sands, namely rutile, ilmenite and zircon. The Africa-focused miner achieved near-record production volumes over the quarter, including a 78% recovery for zircon, with recoveries of all products now exceeding design targets.
