Lotus Resources has produced the first batch of triuranium octoxide (U3O8), also known as yellowcake, from its 85%-owned Kayelekera uranium mine in the Karonga District of northern Malawi.
The Australia-based company said the development marks a key step towards the commissioning of the processing plant at Kayelekera.
The past-producing Kayelekera site was placed on care and maintenance in 2014 due to low market prices for uranium.
