Meanwhile cobalt upgrade pilot-scale testing is proceeding on ore from the Irwin-Coglia nickel-cobalt laterite project well north of Carr Boyd. This is in a joint venture with Murrin Murrin Holdings and GlenMurrin Pty Ltd (Minara Resources Ltd and Glencore AG), owners of the big Murrin Murrin laterite mine and treatment facilities near Laverton.
Hey YT
does this project involve Yilgarn?
All signs are looking positive for the Car Boyd mine, especially if they start producing by September
Yes it does, see project number 2 under my YML analysis
2. Irwin Hills JV YML-40% MRE-60%, Nickel, In W.A.
JORC 20Mt@ 1%Ni (Nickel) + 0.12%Co (Colbat)
High levels of Chloride so having trouble getting MRE to agree to Toll Treatment at its Murrin-Murrin Plant, although its Laterite Nickel its not that bad as MRE is the Laterite King!
MRE stated in their last Qtrly that "Preliminary mining studies are underway to determine the viability of direct trucking of ore to Murrin Murrin plant"
The cobalt upgrade pilot scale testwork is proceeding and will be reported upon once results are to hand
