Extract from His Excellency Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera’s address: “We are delighted that many private sector investors are flocking to us to join the agricultural revolution that is coming to Malawi, as well as investors in mining, who know that the recent discovery in Malawi of the largest deposit of rutile in the world means that Malawi’s economic rise is imminent.”
His Excellency’s confirmation of the importance and global significance of Kasiya comes as Sovereign continues its close working relationship with the Government of Malawi and other key stakeholders.
The Expanded Scoping Study announced in June 2022 confirms Kasiya could become one of the world’s largest and lowest cost producers of natural rutile and natural graphite with a carbon-footprint substantially lower than current titanium feedstocks alternatives while significantly contributing to the social and economic development of Malawi.
Sovereign’s Managing Director Dr Julian Stephens commented : “It is a terrific endorsement of the Kasiya discovery and its immense potential by receiving recognition at such an important global forum. Sovereign appreciates the great support it has received from the Malawi Government and we look forward making a significant contribution to development of the mining sector and achievement of the country’s economic vision. ”
