Marropino

The Marropino mine is the Group's most developed project and is located approximately 350km northeast of the provincial capital, Quelimane. To date Noventa has invested over $65 million at Marropino to create the only industrial scale tantalum mine in operation in Mozambique. Open pit mining using conventional truck and shovel method is undertaken.

An electrification programme to provide grid power to Marropino and Morrua has been completed, and the Marropino mine was restarted in April 2010.

Commercial quantities of Morganite are also mined at Marropino.
