Micrex Development Corp.: General Update on the Québec Magnetite Apatite Deposit
07 Febrero 2012 - 7:45AM
Marketwired Canada
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) announces that the drilling program
on the St. Charles property is continuing at a slow rate due to inclement
weather. However, Micrex is very pleased with the results so far.
Exploration on the newly found deposit extensions is continuing to show a very
high apatite content of up to 28%. This represents up to 15% P205, a very
important fertilizer feedstock.
Corem Laboratory's first stage analysis is now complete and validates all
previous testing carried out by Micrex. It has proven that the St. Charles
deposit's ilmenite grains are readily separated from the magnetite grains. This
will enable Micrex to produce magnetite required for the water purification
industry in Quebec and the US eastern seaboard, which market it estimates to be
at 150,000 tons annually. Currently this is all being shipped from northern
Europe at a landed cost of over $200.00 per ton. Micrex estimates its cost to
produce this product at significantly less than half of that amount. Micrex has
been advised that there is world wide demand for fine ilmenite (titanium)
powder.
There have also been delays in the grinding equipment test program in Newcastle,
England, but these tests are now scheduled for the week of Feb 20.
An update on the Deadwood gold and silver mine in New Mexico will follow shortly.
This press release has been reviewed by M. Rejean Girard, geologist and head
director of IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc. and the Company's Qualified
Person for this project under the meaning of NI 43-101.
