PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Critical minerals junior FYI Resources has started an extended high purity alumina (HPA) production run from its wholly owned pilot plant in Perth, to support customer requests.
The ASX-listed company on Thursday said it would also undertake specialised calcining testwork in post-production trials for determining various product finishes improving the suitability of FYI HPA in certain customer applications.
The final HPA material is expected to be dispatched to potential customers by June 2023.
“With FYI now back in control of our HPA development, we are undertaking these HPA pilot plant production runs in response to end-user requests that demonstrate the demand for our high-quality HPA,” said MD Roland Hill.
“We see this production run as being a critical piece in addressing potential customer product assessment needs as the results may lead to further development commitments. As a company, we are committed to the development of the HPA project and will continue to address potential customer product specifications as a fundamental function of our project development and project value growth.”
