Triton Minerals Ltd. (ASX:TON) provided an update on metallurgical results from the P66 zone at its Mozambique-based Nicanda Hill and Ancuabe projects.
Highlights include:
- Initial metallurgical test work on the P66 zone from Nicanda Hill material, confirms the substantial presence of large graphite particle sizes.
- P66 flotation tests confirm 53% of the discrete mass graphite particles in the samples were larger than 150µm (+100 mesh).
- P66 graphite is readily liberated by crushing, grinding, rougher and cleaner flotation, with no additional regrind required.
- P66 concentrate grade of 96.1%TGC achieved at a recovery of 97.4%.
- Ancuabe concentrate production proceeds with outstanding results that confirm initial laboratory test work results.
- Average grade of 98.2% TGC obtained from Ancuabe bulk sample at 97% recovery.
- Further tests to optimize the graphite flake recovery process are continuing.
Brad Boyle, managing director and CEO of Triton, commented:
Triton is extremely pleased to announce that initial test results from the P66 zone sample material and concentrate production from Ancuabe have both produced positive and encouraging metallurgical results.
These early results are very encouraging and once again, demonstrate the versatility of Nicanda Hill and Ancuabe to deliver the most diverse range of graphite flake sizes.
These results support the concurrent advancement of the P66 zone and Ancuabe, which will allow Triton to produce a wide range of TMG products for its customers.
