Metallica Minerals returns strong test results on Cape Flattery silica sand
Metallica Minerals Limiteds (ASX:MLM) (OTCMKTS:MLMZF) (FRA:MM4) metallurgical testing of the 2-tonne bulk sample acquired from the December 2020 drilling program has produced a high-quality silica sand product from its 100%-owned Cape Flattery Silica Sand project. This demonstrated that a low contaminant product with an attractive narrow particle size distribution can be produced at a high yield. The test work produced a product with 99.8% silica oxide (SiO2), 170 parts per million (ppm) hematite (Fe2O3) and 450 ppm aluminium oxide. Further work on white-sand samples Metallica executive chairman Theo Psaros said These results demonstrate further the world-recognised qualities of Cape Flattery silica sand. To achieve such positive results having blended sand that had an SiO2 level of greater than 98.5% also supports further work on white-sand samples that will be sourced from our upcoming drilling program. These results will also allow us to engage further with potential offtake partners in Australia and throughout Asia. The metallurgical testing The metallurgical testing was completed by IHC Robbins at its Brisbane laboratory.
