Commerce Resources Begins Downstream Hydrometallurgical Program for Ashram

Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXV:CCE) has initiated a downstream hydrometallurgical processing program for material from its Ashram Rare Earth Deposit.

As quoted in the press release:

This hydrometallurgical testing will demonstrate the entire conceptualized flowsheet with a target of producing a mixed rare earth carbonate (REC) product. Once the hydrometallurgical flowsheet is fully bench tested, and mineral processing further optimized, a mini pilot plant will commence to generate feed for the production of a cerium and lanthanum depleted mixed REC concentrate for evaluation by a potential joint venture and/or off-take partner.

Commerce president, Chris Grove, said:

Through our understanding of industry interests and requirements, we are excited to be initiating these advanced metallurgical programs with Hazen and UVR.
