Arianne Phosphate (TSXV:DAN,FWB:JE9N,OTCBB:DRRSF) announced results from pilot-scale metallurgical testing at Lac à Paul project in Quebec, which confirmed the commercial scale-ability of column flotation in achieving 39% P2O5 concentrate with a recovery rate of 90%.
As quoted in the press release:
The following is an excerpt from the report: ‘The metallurgical results demonstrate that the flowsheet with two cleaner columns and a cleaner scavenger column was the most promising circuit to meet the required apatite grade and recovery.’ Further that ‘The apatite concentrate produced met the requested quality targets (P2O5 >38.5%) with a high yield recovery (>90%).’ The complete report will be soon available on www.arianne-inc.com.
Arianne Phosphate President, Jim Cowley, said:
This pilot-scale test confirms column flotation as the optimal processing technology for Zone Paul ore. Column flotation is reliable and cost-effective, and this testing demonstrates that it can produce a superior quality concentrate from Zone Paul ore on a commercial scale. This latest metallurgical test represents another essential milestone for Arianne, thereby confirming both a critical process design element and a product marketing advantage for the Lac à Paul Project.
