Burley Minerals Commences Metallurgical Test Work at Chubb

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Burley Minerals (ASX: BUR) announced commencement of an initial metallurgical test work program for the company’s Chubb lithium project in Québec, Canada.

Burley Minerals explained the purpose of the program is to gather indications of spodumene recovery and spodumene beneficiation through typical spodumene processing circuits.

Two samples of diamond drill core from Burley’s maiden diamond drilling program commenced in April 2023, were composited for this metallurgical test work program and shipped to SGS Laboratories in Québec.

The company anticipates the tests to take up to four months to complete.

“Burley has core from the historic drilling program and also from the early part of our maiden drilling program at Chubb, so we have the luxury of an abundance of core samples for metallurgical test work,” Burley Minerals managing director and CEO Stewart McCallion said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It is great that we can get this work underway at such an early stage of exploration.

“The results of this metallurgical test work will give us a preliminary indication of spodumene recovery and ore upgradability, as we continue to expand and define the mineralised zones at the Chubb lithium project.

“I am very pleased with the work completed so far this year and I look forward to progressing this highly prospective project.”
