GreenX Metals (ASX:GRX) is advancing to scoping-level metallurgical testwork at its Tannenberg Copper Project in Germany.
The progression follows a successful mineralogy study by SGS Lakefield that confirmed copper mineralisation at Tannenberg consistent with producing Polish Kupferschiefer mines.
An independent metallurgical review by MSA Mining Consulting UK further confirms that the copper mineralisation is potentially suitable for conventional flotation-based processing methods similar to those used by KGHM (WSE:KGH) and planned by Lumina Metals (TSE:LMCU) for its Nowa Sól project.
GreenX CEO Ben Stoikovich says the potential use of conventional flotation-based routes “reduce technical risk at this early stage.”
“This gives us confidence that Tannenberg appears to have the right ingredients to follow a proven development pathway, and we will advance metallurgical test work to unlock that potential,” Stoikovich says.
The company will now focus its efforts on scoping-level metallurgical testwork using representative samples from key mineralised lithologies to develop a preliminary metallurgical flowsheet, which will be the basis for subsequent, more advanced metallurgical programs.
GreenX Metals is a mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of sustainable critical metals in Europe.
