Mount Ridley Mines has reported 95% gallium recovery from a Darling Range bauxite composite using its Selectro™ Process. The single-leach process also achieved 92% aluminium and 97% iron recovery, producing a silica-rich residue instead of traditional red mud.
Mount Ridley Mines reports an inferred resource at its Grass Patch project in Western Australia containing 24,584 tonnes of gallium. The resource comprises 838.7 million tonnes at 29.3 ppm gallium, alongside rare earths and scandium.
Nimy Resources Limited reported a transformative year, highlighted by a maiden JORC Inferred Mineral Resource for high-grade gallium and rare earth oxides at its Block 3 project in Western Australia. The company also announced positive metallurgical test work results for gallium and REE, alongside successful capital raises totaling over $6.6 million. Exploration efforts advanced other targets, including a new district-scale gold system and promising copper-nickel-PGE and VHMS prospects, despite facing a legal dispute and ongoing going concern considerations.
Nimy Resources has reported successful metallurgical testwork achieving up to 84% extraction of gallium from its Block 3 resource. The company is advancing towards a scoping study for the gallium-rare earth deposit, which currently hosts an inferred resource of 64.3Mt at 42g/t Ga2O3.
Nimy Resources has reported strong metallurgical testwork results for its Mons project, achieving 84% gallium extraction and 80-95% rare earth extraction. These results support the development of a proprietary processing route for the Block 3 resource, which is currently classified as an Inferred Resource.
