Prony Resources has launched a drying unit for mining residues at its Sud factory, transitioning from liquid waste storage to solid residues on an 80-hectare site. This change is expected to ensure operational continuity for at least 10 years, with a total height of residue deposits reaching 100 meters.

The drying process aims to reduce volume by 15% compared to wet storage. The Lucy project, with an investment of 60 billion CFP, is designed to improve the factory's performance and environmental responsibility. The Sud factory aims to produce 36,000 tonnes of nickel in 2025, increasing to 55,000 tonnes in the upcoming years, as part of efforts to attract potential investors.
