Altona positive on fluorspar tests and discoveries
Altona Rare Earths plc returned “very encouraging” fluorspar metallurgical test results along with new fluorspar discoveries at its Monte Muambe rare earths project in Tete Province, northwest Mozambique. OUTCROPS Initial flotation tests of ore samples showed a concentrate at 93.62% calcium fluoride, with impurities reduced to “acceptable or near-acceptable levels” for hydrofluoric acid production. “These […]
Altona identifies gallium soil anomalies
Altona Rare Earths plc has identified three large untested gallium soil anomalies from a review of its soil sampling database at the Monte Muambe rare earths project in northwest Mozambique. TESTING Drilling previously intercepted high grade gallium mineralisation, prompting the review to find new possible occurrences of gallium. Altona said that the presence of gallium […]
