Vast Resources PLC (AIM:VAST) said processing of fresh and stockpiled ore will start next month at the Takob joint venture project in Tajikistan.
An official opening ceremony for the processing plant will be held on August 15.
Vast announced in June the refurbishment of the Takob processing plant was nearing completion and that two months of stockpiled ore was ready to be processed.
