魁北克省薩格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年3月20日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司得到了對其位於加拿大魁北克省薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區的Lac à l’Orignal項目區的礦化物冶金測試工作的結果。冶金測試工作由獨立實驗室 SGS Canada Inc.（位於魁北克省魁北克市）完成，日期為2023年3月13日。報告全文見：https://firstphosphate.com/projects/assets。
批量試驗和鎖定循環試驗的結果用於編制擬議流程的總體質量平衡。總體質量平衡顯示，該流程可回收91.4%的磷灰石，精礦中的P2O5含量為40.2%。
對鈦鐵礦和磁鐵礦流進行的初步提純測試工作中鈦鐵礦精礦中的二氧化鈦品位達到39.3%，磁鐵礦精礦的鐵品位達到69.0%（99.2%的Fe2O3）。建議開展進一步的測試工作，以優化鈦鐵礦回路。
First Phosphate總裁Peter Kent表示，“我們對高純度磷灰石的回收結果感到滿意，這有可能使我們生產出大量用於生產低磷酸鹽電池的純磷酸。我們對鈦鐵礦的二次回收同樣重要，因為對鈦鐵礦進行升級後，我們可以生產出硫酸鐵，這是生產低磷酸鹽電池所需的另一種重要成分。磁鐵礦仍具有潛在的三級回收價值。我們現在能夠提前著手建立選礦試驗工廠。”
Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements
Certain information in this news release constitutes forward-looking statements under applicable securities laws. Any statements that are contained in this news release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as “may”, “should”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “potential”, “believe”, “intend” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this news release include statements relating to: the Company’s commitment to producing high purity phosphate materials at full ESG standard under a low carbon footprint; the Company’s plans to integrate directly into the functions of certain major North American LFP Battery producers; the Company’s proposed development of its land claims in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec; the availability of the metallurgical testwork report on the Company’s website; the estimated recovery rates contained in the report and the potential of such recovery rates in allowing the Company to create a large amount of purified phosphoric acid and iron sulphate, both used in the production of LFP batteries; the potential recovery of magnetite as a potential tertiary recovery of value; and the Company’s plans, if any, to expand or carryout its metallurgical programs.
Forward-looking information in this press release are based on certain assumptions and expected future events, namely: the Company’s ability to producing high purity phosphate materials at full ESG standard under a low carbon footprint; the Company’s ability to integrate directly into the functions of certain major North American LFP Battery producers; the Company’s ability to develop its land claims in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec; the ability of the Company to provide the metallurgical testwork report on the Company’s website; the Company’s ability to meet and exceed the stated recovery rates to allow the Company to create a large amount of purified phosphoric acid and iron sulphate; the Company’s ability to carry out its recovery of magnetite as a tertiary recovery of value; and the Company’s ability to accomplish its plans, if any, with respect to its metallurgical programs or the expansion thereof.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including but not limited to: the Company’s inability to produce high purity phosphate materials at full ESG standard under a low carbon footprint; the Company’s inability to integrate directly into the functions of certain major North American LFP Battery producers; the Company’s inability to develop its land claims in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec; the inability of the Company to provide the metallurgical testwork report on the Company’s website; the Company’s inability to meet and exceed the stated recovery rates to allow the Company to create a large amount of purified phosphoric acid and iron sulphate; the Company’s inability to carry out its recovery of magnetite as a tertiary recovery of value; and the Company’s inability to accomplish its plans, if any, with respect to its metallurgical programs or the expansion thereof.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive. Readers are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Such information, although considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
