Tyranna Resources (ASX:TYX) has announced preliminary metallurgical testing of a bulk sample of lithium pegmatite from the Muvero prospect has been completed, with exceptional concentrate quality produced at high recovery.
Tyranna Resources highlighted a concentrate grade of 6% lithium oxide or more, with low impurities e.g. less than 0.11% iron oxide, and an 80-90% recovery.
The company says spodumene concentrate can be produced from either 12mm or 8mm crush, much coarser than most deposits.
Tyranna Resources' Technical Director, Peter Spitalny says: "Results such as these are exemplary and demonstrate the potential of the Namibe lithium project to be a source of high quality spodumene concentrate and highlights the potential for Direct Shipping Ore."
