Exciting progress! Our plant nursery project is underway - an important milestone in our commitment to world-class restoration. This is the first of multiple nurseries that will support our efforts to rejuvenate natural habitats, stabilise dunes, and promote #biodiversity. The nurseries will create local jobs, engaging the community in this vital initiative. We are fortunate to have received guidance from renowned expert Dr. Suranjan Fernando, and our talented internal ecologist Jegatheeswary Jega Gunasingam is leading these efforts. Pictured is our Operations Manager Harsha Udawatta on-site at the nursery. The accompanying images showcase both the value beneath the surface (#heavyminerals) and the existing habitat that we will restore and enhance.   We are committed to ensuring that our operations not only provide economic value but also contribute to the long-term health of the coastal ecosystems. #CMET #Mining #SriLanka #Reclamation #Sustainability

Great meetings at Mineral Technologies in Queensland – the global leaders in mineral processing solutions – as we explore exciting opportunities for collaboration. 🌀Their wet concentrator plants incorporate proprietary state-of-the-art spiral technology for mineral separation, delivering maximised grade and recovery with a reduced operational footprint. We’re encouraged by the suitability of their pre-engineered solutions to support a low capex phased ramp-up of production aligned with our goals. Thank you to Matthew Allen and Lorne Johansen for hosting Stuart Forrester and Greg Martyr. We look forward to advancing our discussions. #ilmenite #rutile #zircon #garnet #SriLanka #mining

Working on a Sunday? Not a problem when you’re passionate about what you do! I’m currently soaking in the beauty of Sri Lanka while reflecting on the start of my journey with Capital Metals plc. Today, I'm focused on my One Page Plan for the Executive Chairman, Greg Martyr, which highlights the positive progress our team is making! 📈 I’ve always enjoyed my time in the #MineralSands industry, and this new role allows me to reconnect with old friends. 🤝 Sri Lanka’s vibrant landscapes and warm culture have added a new layer of inspiration to my work. It’s incredible how a change of scenery can rejuvenate your mindset and creativity. 🌴 Here’s to finding joy in what we do and appreciating the amazing places life takes us! 🌏 #StuTips #CMET #Engagement #RemoteWork #SriLanka #LoveWhatYouDo

My first time on site today and my main thought was Grade is King! #SriLanka is blessed with rich heavy mineral deposits. In the case of Capital Metals plc, the Eastern Minerals project has a Heavy Mineral Grade of 17.6%. This compares to my previous roles where the grade was less than 2.5%. We continue to make strong progress with the Sri Lankan government, landowners, and the community. #MineralSands #Mining
