READ: FYI Resources nearing completion of construction of HPA pilot plant
FYI Resources’ pilot plant program is nearing completion of construction with test work expected by the end of June at its Cadoux Kaolin Project in Western Australia.
The pilot plant has been designed and engineered to test the HPA production flowsheet developed by FYI to assess the supporting process engineering technology and to optimise and de-risk the flowsheet ahead of full-scale production.
Managing director Roland Hill said earlier this month: “The pilot plant is another key element of our disciplined HPA strategy that will ensure the Cadoux Kaolin Project is de-risked towards production.
“We have arranged to deliver sufficient quantities of HPA product to our potential customers, which will greatly assist in negotiating binding off-take agreements and importantly project financing.”
