Power Metals Corp. has engaged SGS Canada Inc. regarding metallurgical testing of the spodumene pegmatite Main Dyke on the Case Lake Property, east of Cochrane, Ontario. Power Metals has signed a non-disclosure agreement with SGS and started to transfer key documents to SGS. SGS is planning to start the metallurgical testing with heavy liquid (HL) separation and mineralogy analyses.

The purpose of HL separation test is to float the light minerals like quartz from the heavier spodumene mineral. The HL test will predict the expected spodumene grade and recovery by gravity or dense media separation (DMS). The HL test will determine if a 6 percent Li2O spodumene concentrate is possible to be produced using the inexpensive DMS method. The HL test will also offer the specific gravity (SG) cut point of where the separation of spodumene from quartz is best performed.

The mineralogy analyses will identify if the lithium occurs in spodumene or some other minerals like amblygonite, muscovite, lepidolite, petalite, etc. Power Metals is confident that spodumene is the dominant lithium mineral on the property, amblygonite and petalite are absent and lepidolite is only present in trace amounts. Mineralogy will also check the iron content percent within the spodumene crystal.

“I am excited to begin metallurgical testing on the Main Dyke at Case Lake. The metallurgical test results will indicate the economic viability of the Case Lake pegmatites for a future resource estimate,” said Dr. Julie Selway, VP of Exploration.
