Lindian Awards All Non-Process Infrastructure Contracts at Kangankunde
- All major Non-Process Infrastructure (NPI) contracts awarded for Kangankunde Rare Earths Project
- Contracts cover mining workshop, administration building, fuel farm, power infrastructure, and more
- Delivery milestones aligned with plant commissioning activities in late 2026
Lindian Resources Limited (ASX: LIN) has announced that all major Non-Process Infrastructure (NPI) contracts for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi have now been awarded, with construction already underway across several work packages. The awarded contracts cover the mining workshop, administration building, fuel farm and explosives magazine, power infrastructure, tailings storage facility, and site security. These contract awards have been completed within the capital parameters outlined in the Feasibility Study released in July 2024, reinforcing strong capital discipline and further reducing execution risk. This milestone follows the completion of early works and the current mobilization of the owner-operator mining fleet, supporting a smooth transition into full construction and operational readiness. The delivery milestones for these NPI contracts are scheduled through Q3-Q4 2026, aligned with the plant commissioning activities. Lindian's Executive Director, Zac Komur, stated that awarding all NPI contracts is a major step forward in positioning Kangankunde for construction and commissioning, as these packages provide the essential infrastructure required for mining, processing, and site operations. With NPI now locked in, the project continues to build strong momentum as Lindian moves toward awarding the process plant design-and-construct contract.
The award of all NPI contracts represents a key execution milestone that materially strengthens project readiness ahead of targeted first production in late 2026, with all NPI scopes scheduled for completion before the processing plant commissioning window. These developments increase schedule confidence and maintain the project's strong momentum as Kangankunde progresses toward first production.
