The tests resulted in TREE concentrate increasing from 552ppm to 1,744ppm (+216%) recovering 74.7% of available TREE while scandium concentration increased from 16ppm to 30 . 4ppm (+90%) recovering 43 . 8% of available scandium.
This preliminary test-work demonstrates that ore from La Paz can be effectively concentrated using magnetic separation, selective grinding and direct RE flotation and this also resulted in a 76% reduction in the ore mass for surface samples.
. 's magnetic separation has increased the total rare earth elements (TREE) grade from the La Paz Project in Arizona by 216% through concentration testing of surface samples with the scandium grade also increasing.
The tests resulted in TREE concentrate increasing from 552ppm to 1,744ppm (+216%) recovering 74.7% of available TREE while scandium concentration increased from 16ppm to 30 . 4ppm (+90%) recovering 43 . 8% of available scandium.
