| We increased capacity at the Mana Mine from 4,000 tonnes per day to 6,000 tonnes per day in saprolite ore. |
| This phase is now fully operational and plant capacity has attained to 6,600 tpd in saprolite. |
| Hydraulic conductivity of saprolite as determined by channels and porous groundmass. |
| In 2009, we initiated an expansion program at Mana, the first phase of which aimed at increasing plant capacity to up to 6,000 tonnes per day in saprolite ore. |
| Stellar is preparing to ship high-grade nickel saprolite to overseas smelters in 1997, and plans to form a joint venture with another company to construct a Philippines-based ferronickel smelter. |
| Initially, nickel will be extracted from the saprolite part of the orebody. |
