Aeris Resources Limited has recently announced a major milestone in its Feasibility Study for the Stockman Project in Victoria, showcasing significant advancements in metallurgical test work. This progress underscores the project’s potential to enhance the copper, zinc, gold, and silver sectors, thanks to the critical role played by the Albion Process™, supported by Core Resources.
At the heart of these advancements is the latest test work, which has produced export-quality copper concentrate and bulk concentrate (copper/zinc/gold/silver) with improved metal recoveries. By integrating a modified flotation circuit at the onsite ore processing plant followed by the Albion Process™ for metal leaching, the project has achieved remarkable results:
- Exceptional Metal Recoveries: Over 98% recovery of copper and zinc from the bulk concentrate, leading to overall recoveries exceeding 90%.
- Enhanced Gold Recovery: Significant improvements in the overall recovery of gold, adding substantial value to the project.
These advancements are poised to significantly boost the project’s economics, offering several key benefits:
- Higher Metal Recoveries: Ensuring maximum extraction of valuable metals.
- Smaller Plant Footprint: Reducing the physical size of the ore processing plant.
- Cost Efficiency: Lowering both capital and operating expenses.
- Environmental Sustainability: Reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, promoting a more sustainable operation.
Looking forward, the project aims to continue enhancing its metallurgical processes and exploring further innovations, ensuring sustainable and economically viable operations. This journey highlights the importance of collaboration and technical expertise in unlocking the full potential of natural resources.
Core Resources is proud to have supported the Stockman Project with Albion Process™ test work, contributing to these groundbreaking advancements.
