Fe Battery Metals Successfully Produced Spodumene Cocentrate With 6.08 Percent Lithium Oxide For Augustus Lithium Property Testwork

14.12.2022  |  CNW
And Closes Private Placement

VANCOUVER, Dec. 14, 2022 - FE Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: FE) ("FE" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that it has received an update from SGS metallurgical laboratory, located in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada regarding progress for the ongoing metallurgical testwork on the Augustus Lithium Property. The metallurgical testwork successfully produced a spodumene concentrate with 6.08% lithium oxide (Li2O) for the composite samples from the Augustus Property. The concentrate was produced by using a combination of dense media separation (DMS) and flotation with an expected global recovery of around 85%. As a next step, SGS hydrometallurgical team is actively working on the spodumene concentrates and is in the middle of high purity lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) production process.

The following are the highlights of the metallurgical testwork steps:
  1. The head sample assayed 0.68% Li (or 1.46% Li2O).
  2. Overall, a very favourable result by DMS + flotation method: a final spodumene concentrate assayed 6.08% Li2O was produced at an expected global lithium recovery of ~85%. The iron content in the final product was 1.27% Fe2O3, slightly higher than 1% industrial requirement
About Metallurgical Testwork

The goal of the testwork is to develop a preliminary process to treat the spodumene bearing lithium mineralized rock to conceptualize a flowsheet, produce lithium oxide concentrate, and generate a high-purity lithium carbonate product.

The Company shipped to SGS Lakefield, a 200-kilogram sample which includes a 50/50 mixture of drill core and surface samples with visible spodumene bearing lithium oxide mineralization.

The testwork approach is to first develop a beneficiation process on the composite samples with the goal of generating 6% Li2O at maximum recovery. Dense media separation (DMS) and flotation are the main two processes examined. Beneficiated concentrates from this work will be combined for extractive metallurgical evaluation. The main goal of this part of the scope will be to generate a high-purity lithium carbonate product.
