TG Metals (ASX:TG6) has announced successful metallurgical testwork results for the Burmeister deposit at their Lake Johnston Lithium Project in Western Australia. The results highlight effective lithium recovery using a hybrid processing method combining flotation, HLS, and dry magnetic separation.
TG Metals Limited's recent testwork results for the Burmeister deposit at Lake Johnston underscore the potential for a significant, low-cost lithium mining operation. The hybrid processing approach not only enhances lithium recovery rates but also provides flexibility in product output. Future endeavors include advancing engineering studies and conducting environmental surveys to support project development. TG Metals is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growing lithium market, with further drilling activities planned contingent on market conditions. This development strengthens TG Metals' role in the lithium supply chain, with their focus on delivering high-quality spodumene concentrates.
The results from our initial flotation testwork, integrated with HLS and dry magnetic separation, have yielded excellent lithium recovery rates of 75.5% to 80.2%. The high-quality spodumene concentrates produced have low impurities and lithium grades between 5.28% and 5.74% Li2O. This hybrid flowsheet stands as a preferred low-cost processing option, offering flexibility in producing separate coarse, fine, or blended concentrates.
