Ann: Metallurgical work expands area for potential development, page-10

I'm pretty interested in RE companies in general so follow most of them. Hold a few, have held a few (including HRE). I'm looking out for their MREC. Out of the Esperance explorers, only MRD released info on the impurities they are leaching with the RE (iron and aluminium) which looked very high, around 50%. So I'd like to see HRE demonstrate they can make a MREC that meets saleable specifications (>50% TREO, low aluminium preferably <0.1% Al) as that will massively derisk their flowsheet IMO. If they can't do it in the pristine laboratory, it will be a challenge (putting it lightly) to do it in a full scale plant.

I do like the met work they have released to date though (RE extractions rates & acid usage rate).
