NORGE MINING PLC (“Norge Mining” or the “Company”): JORC Resource at Skeipstad Confirms High Grade Vanadium and Titanium
Magnetite (Fe3O4) has, however, been reported for the first time in the latest 2023 resource as testwork has indicated this does have the potential to be recovered.
- Magnetite (Fe3O4) has, however, been reported for the first time in the latest 2023 resource as testwork has indicated this does have the potential to be recovered.
- After the roast/leach test work the vanadium in solution was purified and calcined to produce commercial grade vanadium pentoxide.
- The overall recovery of vanadium as vanadium pentoxide achieved in this testwork from the magnetite concentrate to (calcined) vanadium pentoxide was in the range of 72% to 80%.
- This geology has resulted in particularly high grades of vanadium and titanium, the quality of which brings the potential for economic extraction by a combination of open pit and underground mining.
