Albidon kicks off nickel production at Munali - MD

LONDON, May 14 (Reuters) - Albidon's (ALB.AX) (ALDq.L) Munali nickel project in Zambia will produce its first concentrate this weekend and production will reach 10,500 tonnes per year by 2010, Managing Director Dale Rogers said.

"We are hoping it will be Friday or Saturday," Rogers told Reuters in an interview.

Ore mining at the project started a few months ago and the firm had been crushing material and now the next stage was to put the ore through the mills, he said.
