📣 Join us at the 9th International Symposium on Hydrometallurgy in Phoenix, AZ from 27 – 30 August! Mitchell Catling, our Global Technology Manager for Hydrometallurgy, will be presenting a paper coauthored with Dr. Dale Rucker from hydroGEOPHYSICS, Inc. at the symposium on 28 August at 16:00 (MST). The paper, titled "Improving the Rate of Recovery from Copper Leach Residue with the Addition of a Wetting Aid: A Metallurgical and Geophysical Study", which addresses the global challenge of generally declining ore grades in copper heap leaching processes, and the need for mining operations to increase the rate of recovery of copper from existing heap leaching operations to maintain metal production targets. 🧪The study introduces a leaching aid, LixTRA™, designed to enhance the kinetic rate and overall metal recovery in heap-leaching processes. The investigation employs electrical resistivity testing to examine the conductivity of an active leach pad before and after the addition of the leaching aid, and discusses the changes observed in the geophysical and metallurgical data following its implementation.🌎 Hydrometallurgy 2023 focuses on the many aspects of metallurgical processing including mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, environmental science, and engineering, as well as its future role in processing base metals, precious metals, and strategic metals and minerals.Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into the future of hydrometallurgy! Mark your calendar for August 28th and join us at the symposium. Let's accelerate innovation in mining together.

#UnborrowableTalent in the Minerals Industry: MetallurgyMetallurgical Knowledge, a cornerstone of our industry, is another #UnborrowableTalent. This expertise in processing and refining minerals, understanding mineral processing techniques, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and mineralogy, is unique to our industry. It's more than knowledge—it's an art form honed over years of experience and research. Developing techniques specific to orebodies, then responding to its variations.Our industry must invest in fostering, developing, and nurturing this #UnborrowableTalent is we are to supply the minerals that are so critical to society's future

Bizarre as it is, metallurgy is still a live science. It's not all dead and dry book learning. We have to shake the idea that you need to be an expert in something to contribute to something. Joey Santore (from Crime Pays Botany Doesn't) exemplifies the ability for people to just read a book on something, and become an expert later in life. So, too, with metallurgy. We can all contribute to the mining industry by getting out of our wheelhouses and expertise silos; invite a met along on a field trip, maybe they'll make a great geologist. Tell the prospective student that they won't be giving up on their life and careers by studying mining or metallurgy; and don't discount the contribution that someone untrained can make to your mining project. If a crust old geo can make HPA from lake mud, who knows what you can do with a bit of scientific method and elbow grease?

$ARR - American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of a metallurgical study on the leaching extraction of Rare Earth Elements from Halleck Creek ore using low-temperature, direct acid leaching. The study, conducted by researchers at the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at Virginia Tech, was part of a three-year research contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to Phinix, LLC, with American Rare Earth and Virginia Tech as team members.Swartz highlighted that the positive results from the metallurgical study further confirm the findings of previous testwork carried out by Wood PLC. Independent technical studies, recently published and peer-reviewed, also underscore the economic potential of Halleck Creek ore. The studies revealed that 80% of REEs can be extracted using low-temperature, direct acid leaching, with fast leaching kinetics attributed to the ore's metamict allanite structure. Notably, 65% of REEs were extracted within the first 10 minutes of leaching, showcasing the ore's favorable characteristics compared to refractory ores like monazite or bastnaesite.Furthermore, the Green and Smart Mining Engineering study demonstrated that Halleck Creek ore's high-grade rare-earth enrichment highlights its economic potential. Density and magnetic separation techniques have proven effective in separating and concentrating the rare earth elements, further enhancing the economic viability of the project.These findings underscore the significant progress made by American Rare Earths Limited in advancing the development of the Halleck Creek project. With promising results from metallurgical studies and ongoing research efforts, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the economic potential of Halleck Creek ore and contribute to the domestic supply chain of rare earth elements.📺 Watch video https://lnkd.in/giuhXgUz$ARR Ken Traub John Mansanti Geoffrey Hill Christopher Gibbs Melissa Sanderson Sten Gustafson Paul Zink Donald Swartz Dwight Kinnes Jose A.
