Metallurgical Testwork Programme Confirms Viability of a Conventional Processing Flowsheet for Tin Project
Successful Metallurgical Testwork Programme Confirms Viability of a Conventional Processing Flowsheet for Elementos’s Oropesa Tin Project
Wardell Armstrong is pleased to announce the completion of a programme of metallurgical testwork and flowsheet development in support of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for Elementos’s Oropesa Tin Project. Oropesa, based in Andalucia, Spain, is amongst the largest undeveloped, mineable tin projects in the world, with a recent JORC compliant Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource of 75,400 tonnes of tin.
WATCH: Modular Pilot Plant Used for Testing European Tin Project
As part of an ongoing programme of testing on a European tin project, Wardell Armstrong have recently been undertaking a programme of pilot plant testing for flowsheet development at our laboratory in Truro, Cornwall.
The modular design of the Wardell Armstrong Pilot plant has allowed multiple stages of processing including grinding, froth flotation and gravity separation to be integrated into a single stage of testing thus saving time and providing a better indication of potential plant performance.
