Black Canyon’s (ASX:BCA) sleeper hit is wide awake.
Fresh pilot-scale test work has strengthened the case for producing a ‘premium’ manganese concentrate from the Wandanya Project in Western Australia, while iron results add another layer to the story.
🔑 Key themes include:
- Pilot test work: Manganese upgrades to ‘premium’ grades
- Strong recoveries: Around 80% manganese recovered
- Iron value: Hard, high-lump material stands out
- Drilling milestone: 17,200m completed
- Growth runway: Another 4.8km remains to be tested
With resource drilling wrapped up, Black Canyon is moving towards a maiden mineral resource estimate and Scoping Study while preparing to test the remaining strike.
