Under the agreed scope of work, for Stage 2 SGS will process the bulk sample in a series of runs, each continuous and based on variations of a flow sheet developed in Stage 1 test work. The main steps in the flow sheet involve grinding, gravity pre-concentration, flotation and final product purification using magnetic separation. Approximately 5 tonnes of high grade rutile concentrate will be produced in Stage 2 for distribution to potential buyers.
As detailed in a news release dated May 12, the Company reported that in Stage 1 test work SGS produced a high grade rutile concentrate assaying 97.2% TiO2 at an overall recovery of over 90%. SGS was able to reproduce the grade and recovery results using both potable and sea water as the flotation medium.
"Stage 2 piloting marks a significant milestone in the development of the Cerro Blanco project," said Michael Kurtanjek, the Company's President and CEO. "Not only will the test work provide valuable process data, which will be incorporated in the final feasibility study, but it will generate a large tonnage of high grade rutile concentrate. Our marketing team will then be able to supply potential customers with bulk material for evaluation in commercial chlorinators for pigment use, and titanium sponge metal applications."
About White Mountain Titanium Corporation
The Company holds mining concessions on the Cerro Blanco property currently consisting of 33 registered mining exploitation concessions and five mining exploration concessions in the process of being constituted, over approximately 8,225 hectares located approximately 39 kilometres west of the City of Vallenar in the Atacama, or Region III, geographic region of northern Chile. The Company's principal objectives are to advance the Cerro Blanco project towards a final engineering feasibility, and to secure off-take contracts for the planned rutile concentrate output. It would be the intention to sell the rutile concentrate to titanium metal and pigment producers. Work also continues to investigate the commercial viability of producing a feldspar co-product. The feldspar could find applications in the glass and ceramics industries.
