With our met coming up soon and finding out our ability to mine based on the recovery results being done, this metallurgist on last nights money of mine talks about the importance of metallurgy for junior miners who are in rare earths and critical minerals as the chemistry involved is more complex.
talks about Niobium, and how he thinks WA1 will likely get 50-60% recovery. but those are initial lower levels and it will be a work in progress with metallurgists learning and tweeking things to get better and better recovery.
met may be the difficult challenge that makes or break the viability of a rare earth/critical mineral deposit going into production, as he says Lynas has big niobium find but the whole deposit has become void because of recovery. Where as WA1s saving grace with complexity of chemistry with Niobium is that they have such outstanding grades.
talks for about 7mins on it.
