Finally, and looking at the current mar-
ket, Westcott says that conditions are tight
with all tendering opportunities being keenly
contested – sometimes by as many as 12 com-
panies. “Having said this, DRA continues to
perform in both its modular plant business and
its broader offerings. We’re operating mainly
in the junior space within the modular sector,
which has arguably been less affected by the
resources downturn than other sectors of the
mining industry resulting in a steady demand
for our plants,” he says.
“We’re also well pleased that we now have
a new, innovative line of modules and plants,
which have been redesigned and re-engineered
for optimum performance over the past several
years based on all the experience we’ve gained
during the 30 or so years we’ve been operat-
ing. We believe we now have the most complete
range of modular plants in the country and are
confident that we will retain our position as a
market leader within the industry.”  Parallel 150 t/h diamond DMS streams.
