African lithium developer, Prospect Resources Ltd (ASX: PSC) (“Prospect” or “the Company”) is pleased to report significant improvements to the global lithium recovery for its 87%-owned Arcadia Lithium Project in Zimbabwe, as a result of petalite DMS testwork.
Following the release of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for Arcadia in November 2018, Prospect has continued with bulk metallurgical variability testing, focussing on dense media separation and spiral treatment of bulk ore samples taken from the Upper and Main Pegmatite zones within the proposed pit at Arcadia. The results of this bulk testwork, together with the results of a review of the metallurgical database support the recovery factors employed in the DFS and indicate the potential for an overall increase in Project lithium recovery from 67.9% to +70%.
