It's pretty awful but that's what happens with non ionic clays. they're dead in the water on the process flow sheet as the initial grade is too low and process circuit ends up uneconomic.
This beneficiation work in reality means you'll need a grinding, scrubbing magnetic sep and flotation circuit at the start of it. That's almost a full plant.
at the end of it you're going to lose 50% of the REO through that process - the output is 1.3% TREO which is worse than most hard rocks in situ grade. LYC for example 7%
for context an ionic clay would beneficiate to 600,000-900,000ppm 60% to 90% in a simpler process flow sheet.
That's what makes them viable a simple process flowsheet which recovers them at 70%.
