Geomega Resources Inc. (TSXV:GMA) reported that its NRC laboratory facility in Boucherville, Québec has received a customized reactor that will enable bench scale production of rare earth elements concentrate from Montviel ore. Geomega also reports that the next phase of testing its proprietary physical separation process will be at the NRC laboratory facility with Montviel REE concentrate produced using the Montviel flow sheet.
As quoted in the press release:
The reactor has a capacity of 1 kg per batch, increases current throughput by a factor of twenty (20) and reduces the processing time required by a factor of five (5).
The addition of the reactor unlocks a key step at the beneficiation stage (before hydrometallurgy) which enables the bench scale production (grams per day) of REE concentrate from Montviel ore at the Company’s NRC laboratory facility. The production will begin once the insertion and calibration of the reactor to the existing units is completed.
Proprietary physical separation process
The next phase of testing will take place at GéoMégA’s NRC laboratory facility with Montviel REE concentrate produced based on the Montviel flow sheet.
