發佈于: 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”)欣然宣布已開始對其位於魁北克省薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區的Lac à l’Orignal磷酸鹽項目進行初步經濟評估(“PEA”)。本公司已聘請P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) 牽頭進行初步經濟評估,利用P&E於2022年11月完成的最新礦產資源量評估。

  1. Lac à l’Orignal 磷酸鹽項目擁有優質的磷酸鹽資源,可能適用於能源轉型所需的低磷酸鹽電池。管理層已獲得董事會批准,將推進該項目的首次經濟研究,即PEA。
  2. 初步經濟評估將包括項目經濟學的詳細內容,其中包括三種適銷精礦的分離–磷酸鹽(磷灰石)精礦、氧化鈦(鈦鐵礦)精礦和氧化鐵(磁鐵礦)精礦。
  3. 初步經濟評估的目的是制定礦山計劃、礦山生產時間表、資本成本估算和運營成本估算,並將其納入財務模型,以提供總現金流、稅後淨現值 (NPV) 和稅後內部收益率 (IRR)。
  4. 項目概念是圍繞位於魁北克省薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區的一個獨立露天礦和所有三種精礦的選礦設施,勾勒出一個發展機會。該地區已擁有大量現有和正在進行的工業活動,包括4家鋁冶煉廠、1家氧化鋁精煉廠、林產品加工廠和水力發電站。
  5. 項目設計將與現有的基礎設施相結合,包括低碳至零碳排放的魁北克水電網絡,以及現有的市政和重載公路網絡,這些網絡提供了從Lac à l’Orignal項目直接通往薩格奈深海港口的通道。本公司已與薩格奈港簽署了一份諒解備忘錄,以便在國際上運輸磷酸鹽精礦,並獲得綠地,用於建設最終的先進加工設施。
  6. 初步經濟評估計劃於2023年第三季度完成。
