AFERF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- African Eagle Resources PLC (AFE.LN) said Tuesday that at its Dutwa Nickel Project in Tanzania, preliminary results from phase 2 metallugical testwork has been received and Initial column test results show rapid leach kinetics.
MAIN FACTS:
-Up to 70% nickel extraction after just 16 days acid leaching
-Low acid consumption of 200-230 kg/tonne
-Promising initial tank leach results
-Results are extremely encouraging, showing very fast reaction kinetics and confirming the good nickel extraction and low acid consumption of the Dutwa ores.
-The results show that the project is amenable to both heap leach and tank leach, and point the way to further tests to determine the optimum process parameters.
-The fast leaching reaction, low acid consumption and good nickel extraction are extremely positive indicators for the viability and profitability of the project.
