92 Resources Corp. (TSXV:NTY) released an update on the Phase I preliminary metallurgical program for its Northwest Territories-based Hidden Lake lithium project.
As quoted in the press release:

The metallurgical program is the first applied to the pegmatites forming the Hidden Lake Project, and is comprised of two phases; mineralogy, and mineral processing. The Company is pleased to report that the Phase I mineralogy program is now well-advanced, with QEMSCAN and Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) work completed on the four composite samples representing the HL1, HL3, HL4, and D12 pegmatites.

Highlights include:

Bulk mineralogy and liberation are very similar across all four pegmatite composites (HL1, HL3, HL4, and D12)
Spodumene is confirmed as the primary host of lithium
Spodumene is coarse grained, with very good liberation characteristics
Iron content of the spodumene is low, averaging 0.22% FeO
Columbite group minerals are the primary host to the Ta, and may potentially be recoverable
All work to date indicates that conventional flowsheet approaches for processing of spodumene bearing pegmatites are applicable
