Fancamp Exploration Completes Positive Pilot Test Results from its Magpie Iron-Titanium-Vanadium-Chrome Project

Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:FNC) has completed Phase 2 Hydrometallurgical Pilot Plant Tests at its its 46.7% owned Magpie Mines Inc. The Metallurgical Tests included bench-scale and pilot-plant testing to fine-tune and further improve the results of Phase 1, and resulted in a major improvement in the process by following one step leaching. The Tests produced a high-grade synthetic ritule (titanium dioxide) concentrate and also confirmed that the previous process test results achieved at the bench scale were well reproduced at the pilot plant scale.

As quoted in the press release:

These tests confirmed the new process conditions in a continuous operation; producing and assuring the quality of the filtrate to be used for future works, such as in the Vanadium and Chromium separation tests, and Fe(2) oxidation/Fe(3) hydrolysis tests, and reproducing test results achieved at bench scale. Pilot tests resulted in 95.8% concentrate of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with leaching recovery of 98.5%, which far exceeds initial bench scale test results.
