UK miner Vast Resources has announced its Baita Plai polymetallic mine in Romania expanded its production by a robust 88 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The business has reported “that Q4 2021 has shown an increase … in ore tonnes milled from the start to the end of the quarter. This is primarily a result of a second Sub-Level accessing the Antonio Skarn implemented in early November” 2021, Vast Resources said in a statement.

“Copper concentrate production increased by 62% from the start to the end of the quarter. Volumes at the start of the quarter were lower given the previously reported issues at Baita Plai but the Company is pleased with the progress made in the quarter,” according to the statement.

In addition to its Romanian asset, the UK company also owns Zimba-bwe’s Chiadzwa Community Concession.
