Firering Strategic Minerals has delivered a more encouraging update from its Limeco project in Zambia, with output from Kiln 2 now exceeding 70 tonnes per day. That marks another improvement from an average of more than 60 tonnes per day just two weeks earlier and gives investors a clearer sign that the project is moving forward as planned.
The latest figures matter because they show visible operational progress during the optimisation phase. Limeco is still being fine-tuned, but Firering is now demonstrating that commissioning work is translating into higher production. Early-stage projects are closely watched for evidence that initial setup is being converted into repeatable operating gains, and this update provides exactly that kind of signal.
The company said the increase follows the completion of hot commissioning in February, with Kiln 2 continuing through a three-month optimisation programme.
This is also important beyond Kiln 2 itself. Firering has said that the unit’s stronger performance is helping establish a benchmark for the remaining six kilns at Limeco. That gives investors a clearer framework for judging the next stages of development.
Firering Strategic Minerals plc (LON:FRG) is an emerging quicklime producer and critical minerals explorer, with operations in Zambia and West Africa.
