Summary
Asian Battery Metals PLC (ASX: AZ9) announced excellent results from metallurgical test work on its Oval Cu-Ni-PGE project in Mongolia. The mineralogy testing showed that copper minerals could be easily liberated, with payable copper recoveries between 89-95% in all composite samples. A straightforward two-product flotation flowsheet was established, which indicated no penalty elements within the concentrate. This successful test work reinforces confidence in the project’s development, with additional studies underway to optimize nickel and other by-products. ALS Metallurgy in Perth performed the test work, confirming high copper recoveries using a conventional flotation circuit.
