First Point Minerals Announces Positive Metallurgical Test Results

First Point Minerals Corp. (TSXV:FPX) reports positive metallurgical results from test work  for the Decar nickel project in central British Columbia.

The press release is quoted as saying,

The metallurgical test work shows the “naturally occurring” nickel-iron alloy is recoverable using a simple, low-risk, conventional two-stage grinding and magnetic separation process. This will produce a ferronickel concentrate grading 2.6% nickel based on an 80% recovery of the nickel-iron alloy, which represents 49% of the rock’s total contained nickel. The concentrate also grades 52% iron as magnetite and 2.2% chromite.
