Piloting and Bulk Samples On Its Way
MONTREAL, Sept. 24, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - SRG
Graphite Inc. (TSXV: SRG) ("SRG" or the "Company") announces
today that SGS Canada (Lakefield)
("SGS") was selected for metallurgical testwork, flowsheet
validation, piloting testwork, and bulk concentrate production for
the Lola Graphite Project in Guinea, West
Africa. Metallurgical testwork began a month ago, and bulk
concentrate production is set to begin in the coming weeks.
The testwork is conducted on a 1.5-tonne representative sample
of mineralized material from the deposit, under the supervision of
Oliver Peters of Metpro and
Volodymyr Liskovych of DRA. This testwork will be completed by the
end of Q4 2018, and its results will be key inputs in the process
design for the Lola graphite plant.
An additional 200 dry tonnes of mineralized material from the
deposit is currently on its way to SGS for concentrate production.
Once produced, several tonnes of graphite concentrate will be
available to the Company, ready for shipment to prospective clients
as part of its sales strategy. Intermediate concentrate will also
be produced and sent to suppliers as part of the vendor tests to
further increase confidence in the equipment selected in the
feasibility study. The 200 dry tonnes of mineralized material
departed Guinea, via ship, in
early September and is estimated to arrive in Lakefield by late October.
"We are extremely pleased to see that everything is going
according to plan," said Raphaël Beaudoin, P.Eng., VP Operations,
Metallurgy and Process Design. "The testwork is essential to the
completion and validation of the process design. Furthermore,
successful concentrate production will increase confidence in our
flowsheet design. Both activities go towards completing our
feasibility study on time."
