Canada Carbon (TSXV:CCB) announced that the final report on the pilot plant flotation concentration conducted for its Miller Hydrothermal Lump Vein Graphite Project in Quebec, reconfirms and expands upon the preliminary pilot plant results previously reported. According to the report, stable graphite concentrate grades were achieved, with an average final concentrate, including -200 mesh material, graded 95.6% C(t).
As quoted in the press release:
The final report indicates that the pilot plant campaign was able to achieve stable graphite concentrate grades, which did not noticeably deteriorate as carbon recovery increased within the tested range of 74.5% to 92.5% carbon recovery. The average final concentrate, including -200 mesh material, graded 95.6% C(t)*.
Canada Carbon Executive Chairman and CEO, Bruce Duncan, said:
We are very pleased that the highly differenti ated Miller graphite achieved stable high purity, by flotation alone, during the SGS pilot scale program this past fall. As soon as we received reports that stable pilot plant flotation concentration had been achieved (i.e. during the 10th trial, PP-10), we requested detailed analysis of the PP-10 concentrate purity. Those results confirmed nuclear purity by flotation alone, and >99.99% purity after a standard caustic bake process. Subsequent to these validation tests, Oliver Peters and his colleagues at SGS Metallurgical Services fine-tuned the flotation parameters further, resulting in even higher total carbon concentrate grades. We believe that further adjustments to the flow sheet design, especially within the cleaning circuit, may produce even better results.
