Ann: BKT achieves high purity via optimisation pilot plant study, page-3

99.6% purity is an amazing result !!!

this is 99.6% purity from mere flotation !!!

also, 99.6% from a commercial pilot plant, which is much more reliable that from desktop lab

MNS base concentrate is based on 99.2% purity

MNS best result was 99.6% purity: http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20151201/pdf/433gk884crjwgq.pdf

BKT - of significance, these high purities are seen across the entire size fraction.

The [pilot plant] tests were conducted on identical oxide and primary drill core composite samples used in the 2016 programme [therefore validating, replicating & improving the previous benchtop lab testing]

Replication of high purity concentrate recoveries from first tests at a new lab is significant as it independently validates the robust processing characteristics of Mahenge ore and provides scope for further optimisation improvements.

Further results will be released as the programme advances over the next three months.

**************

looks like BKT are working hard behind the scenes, including targeting long term 500 cycle anode testing, to ensure they have a proven premium product

happy with today's announcement

graphite, unfortunately, is not built in a day
