What happened
T2 Metals Corp. reported historical metallurgical test results for its Sherridon Project in Manitoba. Testing a blended Lost Lake composite achieved 97.4% copper recovery and 90.1% zinc recovery. These results exceeded the expected performance of HudBay Minerals’ Flin Flon concentrator at an equivalent head grade.
Why it matters
The superior recovery rates support T2 Metals’ evaluation of processing options for the Sherridon mineralization, including toll milling. The findings suggest that the Sherridon composite has lower pyrite/pyrrhotite content and favorable sulphide liberation compared to the Flin Flon concentrator.
