Energizer Resources Achieves 82% Vanadium Extraction at Green Giant Project in Madagascar
Junior explorer Energizer Resources (TSX VENTURE: EGZ)(OTCBB: ENZR) has announced interim metallurgy and remaining final assay results for its green giant vanadium project in Madagascar, showing encouraging, albeit, early findings.
The company found interim metallurgy recovery of 82%, as alkaline pressure leach testing at SGS Lakefield determined that soda ash can be used to extract 82% vanadium into a leach solution low in contaminants.
Ongoing work is aimed at optimizing reagent consumption and leach temperature and is expected to be completed in October 2010, said the company.
Highlights of the remaining assay results include 0.875% V2O5 over 60 metres, including 0.939 % V2O5 over 21 metres (Hole M91a); 0.846% V2O5 over 72.1 metres, including 0.912 % V2O5 over 42 metres (Hole M-89); and 0.688% V2O5 over 22.5 metres, including 0.823 % V2O5 over 7.5 metres and 0.64% V2O5 over 43.5 metres, including 0.731 % V2O5 over 24 metres (Hole M-88).
With these assay results, the company has now received all results for the 46 diamond drill holes completed during the 2010 drill program, totalling 8,952 metres.
Based on these results, Energizer believes it has exceeded its exploration target to delineate additional mineral resources in the range of 25 to 30 million tonnes of vanadium, it said.
This will no doubt increase the company's previously reported indicated resource estimate of 21.74 million tonnes of V2O5 at a grade of 0.759%, and inferred resource estimate of 4.15 million tonnes of V2O5 at a grade of 0.655%.
An updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is due in October this year.
Toronto-based Energizer is an exploration stage company, engaged in the search for uranium, gold and other minerals.
The company was up 4.2% to $0.25 as of 11:00am ET on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
