First Energy Metals (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF), a publicly traded Canadian mineral exploration company, announced that it is working with SGS Lakefield in conducting metallurgical testwork on its Augustus Lithium Property. The company intends to develop a preliminary process to treat the spodumene-bearing lithium mineralized rock to conceptualize a flowsheet, produce lithium oxide concentrate and generate a high-purity lithium carbonate product. As part of the test, the company has sent a 200-kilogram sample to SGS; that sample includes a combination of drill core and surface samples with visible spodumene-bearing lithium oxide mineralization. According to the company, initially the testwork approach will develop a beneficiation process on the composite samples with the objective of generating a 6% Li2O beneficiated concentrate at maximum recovery. Dense media separation (“DMS”) and flotation will be the main two processes examined. First Energy noted that beneficiated concentrates will then be combined for extractive metallurgical evaluation, with the main goal of generating a high-purity lithium carbonate product. Testwork steps include submitting the head sample for lithium oxide, total sulphur, whole-rock analysis, a suite and a multi-element ICP scan; X-ray diffraction mineralogy, which will be completed on the head sample; and grindability, beneficiation, and hydrometallurgical testing. The company anticipates the testwork program to take 28 weeks. Based in Ontario, SGS is the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company and is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity.
