Published purpose

This project provides a pre-feasibility study (PFS) of the demonstration plant based on recent experimental work that was conducted in 2021, which demonstrated that a high purity (>99 wt%) MgO product can be produced from the WHY Resources Record Ridge deposit using a hydrochloric acid (HCl) leaching process. In addition, successful results were obtained regarding production of silica and nickel by-products. A semi-commercial demonstration plant of capacity 2 t/h (~15,000 t/y) ore will be designed, built, and operated. The PFS provides techno-economic analysis of the plant including detailed design of the demo plant, in addition to high-level design and economic evaluation of the final commercial plant.
