The Environmental Protection Department Authority (EPDA) of RAK has issued Tri-Star Union, a joint venture between Tri-Star Resources and Union International Holdings, with a preliminary no objection certificate on its proposed 20,000 tonne per annum antimony roaster and downstream facilities.
Tri-Star Union proposes to develop a 20,000 tonne per annum antimony metal and tri-oxide finished products facility, located in the Al Ghail Industrial Zone in RAK, which is owned and operated by the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority, the sovereign investment company of RAK.
Tri-Star Resources CEO Brian Spratley said this project is an integral part of Tri-Star’s ambition to become an integrated antimony producer.
"When complete, it will supply value added antimony products to customers in the EMEA region, not only from Tri-Stars own mines, but from third party concentrates on which we have already received expressions of interest," Spratley said.
