Forsys Reports Positive Ore Sorting Testwork at Norasa
April 08 2025 - 7:00AM
Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”)
Forsys is pleased to report on ore-sorting
testwork at its Norasa Uranium project (“Norasa”1).
Highlights
- Exploratory ore sorting evaluations
show that ore sorting is possible for Valencia ore to increase
uranium grade and reduce acid consumption during processing.
- Next phase testwork has commenced
for proof of concept for XRF and XRT technologies.
Ore sorting is a process stage for separation
and upgrading of run of mine ore based on its grade, composition
and physical properties. Key benefits include delivering an
upgraded material stream to the processing plant by rejecting waste
and problematic lithologies, thereby enhancing processing
efficiency and reducing operating costs. Improvements in metal
recovery may also be achieved. Results from ore sorting trials done
so far on Valencia samples indicate:
- Gamma sorting amenability work
showed that uranium concentration is well correlated with sorting
sensor detection peaks.
- XRF amenability testing
demonstrated a strong calibration accuracy with uranium grades,
suggesting that uranium upgrading is achievable with a decrease in
mass pull.
Given the positive outcome, a decision was made
to conduct further confirmatory testwork, which is currently in
progress and for which results are expected before end of Q2
2025.
This work includes:
- Detailed XRF testing with machine
learning and fine calibration and scanning of variability samples
over approximately 440m of drill core from the Valencia
deposit.
- Scouting XRT ore sorting
amenability testing on variability samples from Valencia
deposit.
The results will be used to determine the
ongoing testwork and technology appraisal, including economic
evaluation.
