SXOOF - St-Georges Received Latest Shipment of Bulk Test Material from Iconic
(TheNewswire)
Montréal – TheNewswire- April 7, 2021 – St-GeorgesEco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX) (OTC:SXOOF) (CNSX:SX.CN) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to disclose that it has received thelatest shipment of bulk material from Iconic’s (TSXV:ICM ) BonnieClaire Lithium Project in Nevada.
As previously reported,St-Georges’ metallurgists were able to concentrate through mineralprocessing and selective leaching the original feedstock by 25 folds,down to 4% of its initial mass where 99.99% of the lithium was leachedinto solution after 5 minutes at low temperature and normalatmospheric pressure.
Work on the BonnieClaire Lithium Project material will now resume along side theon-going work being conducted on other hard rock lithium resources.Current efforts of flow sheet optimisation will focus on front-endchallenges, like concentration, and also on the later purificationstage, where testing of a newly designed bounding solution shouldreduce the number of steps required to achieve a 99%+ lithiumpurity.
Current hypothesis developed using an array of lithiumfeedstocks from different sources indicate the whole closed-loopinitial cycle allows a recovery rate of 90% or better. R eprocessing of the lithium bearing proprietary acid-blendsolution eventually achieves higher total recuperation and achieves battery grade purity.
