Fury Gold Mines: Ninaaskumuwin Lithium Tests Yield 6.024% Li₂O₅
AI Summary
Fury Gold Mines Limited announced final metallurgical test results for its Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery on the Elmer East project in Quebec. The tests confirmed the presence of up to 42% spodumene and Li₂O grades up to 3.71%. A Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) concentrate grading 6.024% Li₂O₅ was produced with 76.66% lithium recovery, indicating potential for battery-grade lithium products. The company is encouraged by the results, which suggest conventional processing methods are viable.
