AMMG updates on its South West HPA (High Purity Alumina) Project, Western Australia
HPA Optimisation Test Work Underway
• AMMG engaged specialist consulting engineers to conduct ‘optimisation test work’ on the process flowsheet developed by AMMG;
• Test work aims to identify areas of potential economic optimisation by incorporating several efficiencies into AMMG’s process flowsheet;
• During the test work the leaching stage was conducted on a continuous basis, which represents an advance towards the full scale pilot plant;
• A bulk trade sample of HPA will be produced as part of the optimisation test work.
• AMMG aims to secure competitive funding for its proposed HPA pilot plant following the current test work.
HPA Integrated Study commenced
• The consulting engineers also commenced an ‘integrated study’ to provide capex and opex based on the optimisation test work:
• Complete mass and energy balance for the flowsheet will be included as part of the study;
• Both integrated study and optimisation test work anticipated to conclude around June quarter;
• HPA trade sample production underway to satisfy potential customers’ requests.
