Preliminary Ore Sorting Testwork Results

Critical Resources Limited (ASX: $CRR) has announced outstanding results from its preliminary ore sorting test work program on ore from its Mavis Lake Lithium Project in Canada. The test work has shown a 150% increase in contained lithia (LiO) achieved through the use of ore sorting. The results also indicate successful waste rock rejection and high spodumene recovery to product, demonstrating the high amenability of Mavis Lake ore to pre-concentration by ore sorting technologies.

Executive Commentary

The results from our first ore sorting trials are outstanding! The results show that incorporating ore sorting into the flow sheet for Mavis Lake has the potential to improve the consistency and quality of our spodumene concentrate product, while also offering potential operational benefits including widening the feed envelope to include multiple sources of raw material, as well as possible reductions in the project footprint. Given the excellent performance of Mavis Lake ore, we now have a fantastic opportunity to design a process flow sheet that fully utilizes the operational advantages offered by these technologies.
