OD6 Metals (ASX:OD6) has announced very high metallurgical recoveries have been achieved from samples tested at the Australian Nuclear Science Organisation from its Splinter Rock project.
OD6 Metals says up to 96% of Magnet Rare Earth Elements (MagREE) was achieved in multiple prospect areas utilising a simple hydrochloric acid leach.
It also says the highest recoveries were achieved centrally within the main clay basins, including a 44% - 96% recovery of MagREE (average 71%) at Prop, a 54% - 78% recovery (average 62%) at Centre, and a 64% and 76% recovery respectively at Scrum and Flanker.
OD6 Metals says the results provide considerable confidence to proceed with further optimisation testwork in parallel with targeted infill drill programs at the four main prospect areas.
