Summary
Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. has announced significant progress in the metallurgical testwork and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Tiros Titanium and Rare Earths Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The company reports that the testwork confirms a conventional process flowsheet can effectively produce a titanium dioxide concentrate and achieve high Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) extractions using Sulphuric Acid Leach. Highlighted results include a stage extraction of TREO between 88.8% and 95.2%, and a stage recovery of TiO2 between 71.2% and 94.2% for fine particle flowsheets. Ongoing testwork aims to optimize acid consumption and recoveries further, with current benchmarks ranging from 700kg/t to 1,320kg/t of sulphuric acid. These results bolster confidence in the Tiros Project's potential to become a significant global source of titanium and rare earths.
Key Points
  • Metallurgical testwork reveals high extraction rates for TREO and TiO2.
  • Conventional process flowsheet is effective for titanium and rare earth recovery.
  • Sulphuric Acid Leach used in testwork shows promising results.
  • Ongoing work focuses on reducing acid consumption and optimizing recoveries.
  • The Tiros Project has potential as a globally significant source of titanium and rare earths.
