We know from our very successful flotation pilot plant and bench-scale hydrometallurgical test-work that early volume reduction and upgrading has significant downstream benefits. The quality of concentrate we can deliver to flotation process has direct benefits in terms of process recovery, and reduced costs related to reagent reduction. Based on the success of this amenability test work SRC have recommended proceeding to a series of confirmatory XRT sorting optimization tests.&#8221;<\/i><br \/>\n        <\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <span>Table 1.

The atomic density of a mineral is closely related to the minerals&#8217; density (gram\/cm3) and is therefore a viable technology for upgrading the mineralized feed prior to processing. Previous test work indicated that gravity separation prior to flotation was beneficial in concentrating Wicheeda REE minerals due to the large density differences between the REE and gangue minerals.<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span>To evaluate amenability to XRT sorting, a combination of high-resolution XRT and QEMSCAN\u00ae (Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron Microscopy) measurements were carried out at the SRC. These measurements identify if the atomic density differences between the REE and gangue minerals can be exploited for XRT sorting. The greyscale levels associated with the various minerals are identified using QEMSCAN\u00ae measurements. <\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Using the X-ray greyscale images and the QEMSCAN\u00ae images, additional theoretical information on the grade of the REE minerals for various particle sizes is generated. The particle grade information determined how much gangue and how much REE mineralization is present in each size fraction. Information is necessary to determine the benefits of upgrading the mineralized feed at different particle sizes.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span>Size fractions greater than 6 mm can be viably sorted using XRT sorters while size fractions greater than 0.6 mm are more amendable to sorting using dense medium separation (DMS) and spirals. Size fractions less than 0.6 mm are concentrated via hydrometallurgy processes. The average distribution of the REE minerals and the theoretical grade of the XRT sorted mineralized feed for the six core samples, for each size fraction within 20 mm, 10 mm, and 6 mm particles are shown in Table 1.<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <span>About the Wicheeda REE Property<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span>The 1,708 hectare Wicheeda REE Property, located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of <span class=\"xn-location\">Prince George, British Columbia<\/span>, is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is nearby to infrastructure, including power transmission lines, the CN railway and major highways.<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span>Geologically, the property is situated in the Foreland Belt and within the Rocky Mountain Trench, a major continental geologic feature.

Each sample was imaged using 2-dimensional X-ray transmission measurements to identify greyscale differences in the core samples. The greyscale levels associated with the various minerals are identified using QEMSCAN\u00ae measurements. The X-ray images are then modified using a defined threshold to identify the location and dispersion of the REE minerals and pyrite throughout the core samples. The results of this XRT amenability study are theoretical in nature and may not be representative of actual recoveries obtainable via direct testing using XRT sorting and DMS.<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span>Using image analysis techniques on the QEMSCAN\u00ae images, the percent removal of low-grade mineralization is calculated for different theoretical size fractions.
