Balltec intends to build a foundry to produce grinding media for the mining industry in Zimbabwe which will operate 24 hours a day.

The proposed location will be in Melfort, Zimbabwe.

To support the foundry, Balltec will consume 6 MW of power and intends to establish a source of guaranteed power supply in the form of;

1. Solar farm and storage
2. Modular gas Turbines to supplement the storage and power outages
3. ZESA as the backup and alternative supply
4. Supply excess to the grid as an extra source of income.

RAZ is designing the hybrid power system, and completed the Feasibility Study in September 2024.

Financial Close is expected in January 2025.
