Vancouver, BC – Medallion Resources Ltd. (TSXV:MDL, OTCQX:MLLOF), today provided a corporate update.
In September the Company closed a $300,000 private placement, principally to pursue a pilot-scale metallurgical test program to further develop its monazite-based rare-earth extraction process, as well as to advance customer development work and perform jurisdictional research for the Company’s proposed rare-earth extraction plant. Medallion is pursuing production of rare-earth elements by sourcing and processing the by-product mineral monazite and marketing the resulting rare-earth chemical concentrates. Monazite, a well-understood rare-earth phosphate mineral, is mined and concentrated in significant quantities as a by-product in the heavy mineral sands mining industry.
Recently, some delays were experienced in arranging cross-border transportation of good-quality monazite sand samples from a potential feedstock supplier for the metallurgical test-work, but the process in now moving forward. It is expected that the feedstock material will be shipped shortly from the potential supplier to Medallion’s testing facility. This test-work is important for technical confirmation prior to building a continuous-flow integrated pilot plant. Data gathered from the pilot plant will in turn form the basis of an engineering study confirming the commercial viability of the process and proposed processing facility. With these delays behind the Company, Medallion is now in a position to provide updates on shipments, processing test-work and customer engagement.
