发布于: 3 月 6, 2023

魁北克省薩格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年3月6日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布已开始对其位于魁北克省萨格奈-拉克-圣让地区的Lac à l’Orignal磷酸盐项目进行初步经济评估(“PEA”)。本公司已聘请P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) 牵头进行初步经济评估,利用P&E于2022年11月完成的最新矿产资源量评估。

  1. Lac à l’Orignal 磷酸盐项目拥有优质的磷酸盐资源,可能适用于能源转型所需的低磷酸盐电池。管理层已获得董事会批准,将推进该项目的首次经济研究,即PEA。
  2. 初步经济评估将包括项目经济学的详细内容,其中包括三种适销精矿的分离–磷酸盐(磷灰石)精矿、氧化钛(钛铁矿)精矿和氧化铁(磁铁矿)精矿。
  3. 初步经济评估的目的是制定矿山计划、矿山生产时间表、资本成本估算和运营成本估算,并将其纳入财务模型,以提供总现金流、税后净现值 (NPV) 和税后内部收益率 (IRR)。
  4. 项目概念是围绕位于魁北克省萨格奈-拉克-圣让地区的一个独立露天矿和所有三种精矿的选矿设施,勾勒出一个发展机会。该地区已拥有大量现有和正在进行的工业活动,包括4家铝冶炼厂、1家氧化铝精炼厂、林产品加工厂和水力发电站。
  5. 项目设计将与现有的基础设施相结合,包括低碳至零碳排放的魁北克水电网络,以及现有的市政和重载公路网络,这些网络提供了从Lac à l’Orignal项目直接通往萨格奈深海港口的通道。本公司已与萨格奈港签署了一份谅解备忘录,以便在国际上运输磷酸盐精矿,并获得绿地,用于建设最终的先进加工设施。
  6. 初步经济评估计划于2023年第三季度完成。
