Less reagent. More flexibility.
Shae Russell catches up with Cobra Resources (LSE:COBR) Managing Director Rupert Verco after fresh test work from the Wudinna Rare Earths Project in South Australia.
Rupert breaks down what is moving:
- Recovery: Up to 50% rare earth recovery without ammonium sulphate
- Costs: Lower reagent reliance could improve operating flexibility
- ISR: Test work continues to support in situ recovery development
- MRE: A maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) is almost complete
- Manna Hill: Copper-gold assays and more drilling are on the way
Wudinna is testing how much chemistry it can leave out.
Manna Hill is getting ready to put more holes in.
