Built by Mantra Tanzania Ltd at the Nyota deposit, the facility is designed to gather data for the construction of a main processing plant with a planned capacity of up to 3,000 tons of uranium per year.

Construction of the main facility is set to begin in early 2026, with commissioning expected in 2029.
