On March 9, Nevada Zinc Corporation announced the engagement of Hazen Research, Inc., Golden, Colorado to conduct a multiphase pilot program to develop a flowsheet to recover zinc sulfate monohydrate using a bulk sample from the Company's Lone Mountain zinc project, produce commercial grade zinc sulfate monohydrate product samples, and provide process plant capital and operating cost estimates.
Nevada Zinc will provide a bulk sample from its Lone Mountain project site in Eureka County, Nevada. The scope of work, which will commence this month, will be conducted in four main phases:
(1) Preliminary assessment and review of recovering and purifying zinc from the bulk sample containing zinc carbonate and silicate mineralization. A conceptual flowsheet will be generated based on the review and findings;
(2) The conceptual flowsheet steps will be carried out on a small scale to establish the efficacy of the proposed unit operations and to develop target conditions for each step;
(3) A bulk operation will be conducted to produce approximately 150 lbs. of a commercial grade zinc sulfate monohydrate product (ZnSO4?H2O);
(4) An economic evaluation of the production process will be performed to provide estimates for both process plant capital costs and operating costs.
