metallurgical patent, page-11

It could be HPAL but we wont know untill the patent is filed, and I would think they will be stripping and recycling.

WIth the Ni HPAL think its exothermic so maybe this is to.

Guessing they will be wanting the vanadium in the petoxide form as it it would be th most stable the magnetite would be as it is and there would be Titanium dioxide but I only got through 101 chemistry at Uni so just guessing.

I Spoke to Richard Wolanski from Speewah today who seemed guardedly optimistic on what TNG are doing. Seems Speewah have can get a higher % of Vanadium in concentrate form (2.4% as against 1.2%) than what TNG can and their deposit is around 20 times as large as TNG.

BUT TNG have the technology and a smaller CAP and I feel barging out of Wyndham for SPM could be tricky compared with guessing going out of East Arm Darwin for TNG.
