Pre-feasibility Study of the WHY Record Ridge Project
EF 2021-22 · 2022-02-01
Résumé
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.

Description (French)
Ce projet fournit une étude de préfaisabilité (EPF) de l'usine de démonstration basée sur des travaux expérimentaux récents réalisés en 2021, qui ont démontré qu'un produit MgO de grande pureté (>99 % en poids) peut être produit à partir du gisement WHY Resources Record Ridge, et ce, en utilisant un procédé de lixiviation à l'acide chlorhydrique (HCl). En outre, des résultats concluants ont été obtenus concernant la production de sous-produits de silice et de nickel. Une usine de démonstration semi-commerciale d'une capacité de 2 t/h (~15 000 t/an) de minerai sera conçue, construite et exploitée. L'EPF fournit une analyse technico-économique de l'usine, y compris la conception détaillée de l'usine de démonstration, en plus de la conception de haut niveau et de l'évaluation économique de l'usine commerciale finale.
