GeoMegA Reports on Metallurgical Performance of Process Flow Sheet
GeoMegA Resources Inc. (TSXV:GMA) released an update on the metallurgical performance of the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) process flow sheet for its Montviel rare earths and niobium project.
GeoMegA Resources Inc. (TSXV:GMA) released an update on the metallurgical performance of the preliminary economic assessment( PEA) process flow sheet for its Montviel rare earths and niobium project.
As quoted in the press release:
The process flow sheet starts with a flotation stage, developed by Natural Resources Canada’s CanmetMINING in Ottawa, and follows with an innovative assembly of mature technologies generating synergy effects. The hydrometallurgical section was conceived and fully developed by the GéoMégA team at the Company’s laboratory facility in National Research Council Canada (‘NRC’) in Boucherville, Québec.
Highlights from the release include:
- High recoveries of mixed rare earth elements (‘REE’) and niobium;
- Hydroelectric power and salt make up for full hydrochloric acid (‘HCl’) regeneration on site;
- 58 kg of regenerated HCl per metric ton of ore to extract REE and niobium;
- 91%, 92% and 66% overall recovery of neodymium, praseodymium and niobium respectively;
Pouya Hajiani, chief technology officer of GeoMegA, commented:
We developed an integrated hydrometallurgical process producing mixed REE concentrate and niobium oxide which is designed to operate with diminutive reagents, while minimizing effluent discharge. Beyond REE and niobium recoveries, in situ acid and base production and regeneration in tandem with water recirculation in a plant powered exclusively by hydroelectricity are the hallmarks of this process.
Simon Britt, CEO of GeoMegA, said:
Numbers speak for themselves, the Montviel PEA process flow sheet compares favorably at every level. Most users of permanent magnets in traction motors and direct drive wind turbine generators have a sustainable conscience that reaches all the way to raw material extraction. With its underground, paste backfill of part of tailings, reagents regeneration, water recycling and 100% hydroelectric power design, Montviel is at the top of the sustainability chart globally.
