Pensana’s Sulima West laterite is located 75 km north of the Longonjo Rare Earths Project and test work programmes are designed to test for the amenability of this mineralisation to be processed at Longonjo.
Highlights
- Trench and pit sampling results confirm a 6 ha, enriched laterite at Sulima West grading 2 – 3% TREO.
- Sampling of three additional historic trenches totalling 206 metres averaged 1.8% TREO (La2O3 + CeO2 + Nd2O5 + Pr6O11).
- Higher grade zones intersected in these trenches include:
- Trench 2: 2.3% TREO over 32 metres (0-32 m)
- Trench 3: 2.3% TREO over 28 metres (24-52 m)
- Trench 4: 2.2% TREO over 54 metres (0-54 m)
- All the pits within the 6 ha >3% soil anomaly are mineralised with an average grade of 2.1% TREO and with all pits ending in mineralization.
- Notable pit intersections include:
- Pit 14: 3.0 % TREO over 4 metres
- Pit 15: 2.8% TREO over 4 metres
