QUALITY RESULTS CONTINUE FROM JOINT EXTENDED HPA PILOT PLANT TRIAL
- Outstanding FYI and Alcoa joint HPA trial production results continue to demonstrate process efficiency and product quality
- Average HPA purity achieved for pilot plant trial Week Two samples is 99.9978% Al2O3
- Progressive refinement of FYI's innovative HPA flowsheet continues
- The robust test results support the HPA project development objectives between FYI and Alcoa
FYI Resources Ltd ("FYI" or "the Company") (ASX:FYI; OTCQX:FYIRF; FSE:SDL), is pleased to announce the results of the second week of extended HPA pilot plant operations. An average purity of 99.9978% was achieved during the week-long campaign undertaken in collaboration with Alcoa of Australia (Alcoa).
Operating from the 7th to the 14th December 2021, the joint development HPA pilot plant trial generated product from which selected samples across all stages of the process were sent to EAG Laboratories in New York, USA for analysis using high level Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) to provide independent, high accuracy confirmation of the HPA grades.
Consistent with the previous HPA trial outcomes, the Week Two results demonstrated continued high-quality grades being achieved across the suite of samples and ranged in purity from 99.9983% to 99.9973% Al2O3. The high-quality results further support the progressive development of FYI's project utilizing the effective and innovative HPA flowsheet design.
