First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (TSX:FM,LSE:FQM) announced that it’s begun recommissioning the atmospheric leach circuit at its Western Australia-based Ravensthorpe nickel operation. It was shut down because of a tank failure in December of last year.
As quoted in the press release:

Steady-state production is expected by July 31, at which point the circuit should operate at 50% of production capacity, with throughput of 80 tonnes per hour.
It is planned that this capacity will continue for the next six months, while out of service leach tanks are progressively refurbished.
