Hudson’s Surface Sample at Sarfartoq Returns 2.5% TREO

Hudson Resources Inc. (TSXV:HUD,OTCQX:HUDRF) announced that a 5 ton bulk metallurgical sample resulted in 2.5% TREO at the Greenland-based Sarfartoq project.

As quoted in the press release:

The proportion of the three REE minerals varies from sample to sample but overall it is estimated that about 50-70% of the REE are carried by monazite, 30-50 % by bastnasite, and <5% by synchysite.

Hudson’s President, James Tuer said:

As well, mineralogical studies conducted on the bulk sample have confirmed that the rare earths are hosted within a distinct “red” ankerite mineral in the ST1 body which contains bastnaesite and monazite REEs. Our metallurgical studies are focused on defining a process to extract these common rare earth bearing minerals from the bulk material.
