Korsnas REE Concentrate Stockpile Assay Results

Sentiment:
 Exploration Update
 10 September 2024 7:40 PM

Prospech Limited announced excellent assay results from its Korsnäs REE project in Finland, revealing a high-grade lanthanide concentrate stockpile with an average TREO grade of 2.55% and significant NdPrO enrichment.

Better than expected
  The assay results significantly exceeded expectations, revealing a much higher grade of TREO and NdPrO than initially anticipated, enhancing the project's economic viability. 

Summary
  • Prospech Limited announced assay results from its Korsnäs project in Finland.
  • The Lanthanide concentrate stockpile assays showed an average TREO grade of 25,541 ppm (2.55%).
  • A significant 31% enrichment in NdPrO2 of 7,869 ppm (0.79%) was also found.
  • These results, along with a REMHub grant, highlight the strategic importance of the Korsnäs project for the EU.
  • The Korsnäs lead mine operated from 1958 to 1972, processing 0.87 million tonnes of ore.
  • More than 0.5 million tonnes of ore produced an REE concentrate that was never sold and remains stockpiled.
  • The Lanthanide concentrate stockpile and Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) could form the basis of a starter project.
  • Advanced techniques like Heavy Media Separation and Froth Flotation are being tested to achieve a higher-grade concentrate.
Sentiment

Score: 8

Explanation: The announcement contains overwhelmingly positive news, with high-grade assay results and a significant EU grant. However, the need for further metallurgical testing and the inherent risks of mining temper the overall sentiment.

Positives
  • Excellent assay results from the lanthanide concentrate stockpile.
  • High TREO grade of 2.55% and significant NdPrO enrichment.
  • Strategic importance of the Korsnäs project for the EU, underscored by the REMHub grant.
  • Potential for a starter project using the existing stockpile and TSF.
  • Opportunity to produce a significantly higher-grade REE concentrate using advanced techniques.
Negatives
  • No immediate revenue generation from the stockpile.
  • Further work required to validate historic data and extend mineralisation.
  • Metallurgical testing is still needed to optimize extraction processes.
Risks
  • Uncertainty regarding the full extent of the mineralisation.
  • Challenges in scaling up production from the stockpile.
  • Potential environmental concerns related to mining activities.
  • Dependence on securing further funding for exploration and development.
Future Outlook

Further auger or bulk sampling of the Lanthanide concentrate stockpile is planned to collect material for metallurgical testing. The company aims to produce a significantly higher grade REE mineral concentrate than was possible with 1960s technology.

Management Comments
  • ’These high grade TREO assay results from the Lanthanide concentrate stockpile, together with the assay results from the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) and the Company’s selection as a participant in the REMHub EU grant project continue to demonstrate the merit of the Korsnäs project, one of the most prospective REE assets in Finland.’
Industry Context

This announcement positions Prospech Limited as a key player in the growing European rare earth elements market, particularly given the EU's focus on securing critical mineral supplies and the REMHub grant's support. The high-grade nature of the stockpile could give Prospech a competitive advantage.

Next Steps
  • Further auger or bulk sampling of the Lanthanide concentrate stockpile for metallurgical testing
  • Metallurgical testing to optimize extraction processes
Key Dates
  • 1958: Korsnäs lead mine began operation
  • 1972: Korsnäs lead mine ceased operation
  • July 2, 2024: ASX announcement of auger drilling of the Lanthanide concentrate stockpile
  • May 14, 2024: ASX announcement of Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) assay results
  • August 12, 2024: ASX announcement of first diamond core drilling since the 1970s
  • September 10, 2024: ASX announcement of REMHub EU grant project participation
  • September 11, 2024: Release of Korsnäs REE concentrate stockpile assay results
