American Rare Earths announces positive metallurgical testing at Halleck Creek
–News Direct–
American Rare Earths CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an update on the companys work on metallurgical testing at its flagship Halleck Creek project in Wyoming.
The preliminary test results have been highly positive, indicating that the ore can be effectively processed using conventional technologies. This approach not only requires less initial capital expenditure but also offers lower ongoing operating costs.
The metallurgical testing has demonstrated a 28.5% increase in the recovery of Neodymium and Praseodymium Oxide compared to prior designs. The mineralization in the deposit primarily consists of allanite, and testing has shown that rare earth elements can be efficiently leached from allanite using atmospheric acid tank leaching.
