Critical Elements Corporation (CVE:CRE) reports the last results of the metallurgical testing program for its Rose deposit, James Bay, Quebec.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The tests were carried out on a composite from mineralized drill cores from sections 0+60 W to 4+80 E which were encountered above a depth of 100 metres from surface, as of January 2011, thus providing a highly representative composite of the material to be mined within the first ±8 years of operation. These were the drill holes available at the time that the metallurgical program was initiated.
The grind size required is coarse at 0.265 mm (265 micrometers) for full liberation of the spodumene and tantalite. An extensive program of kinetic flotation determined the best combination of operating conditions, repeatability of results and simplicity of processing using a flotation reagents combination of FA-2 (fatty acid) and other industrial chemicals.
Critical Elements’ President and CEO, Jean-Sébastien Lavallée says:
“These positive results are in line with the high quality low risks mining project scenario that the major consumers in the critical metals markets are looking for.”
