Greenland Minerals tests boost recoveries with aim to meet looming surge in rare earth demand

Greenland Minerals Ltd (ASX:GGG) (OTCMKTS:GDLNF) continues to optimise the Kvanefjeld Rare Earth Project in Greenland with advanced flotation test-work delivering strong results and increasing overall rare earth recoveries.

This progress comes as the company looks to become an important new supplier to meet the looming surge in rare earth demand to serve new technologies aimed at providing a cleaner energy future.*Test-work proves positive*

Recent locked cycle flotation test-work has produced rare earth mineral concentrate in excess of 23% rare earth oxide (REO).

The tests have seen rare earth recoveries in mineral concentrate increased to 85% from 80% with light REO recovery of 87% and heavy REO recovery of 68%.*"Strong progress"*

Managing director Dr John Mair said: "Technical work programs on Kvanefjeld have delivered strong progress through 2020, with a focus on continued development of the flotation circuit, and impurity removal in the refinery circuit.

"The results of advanced locked cycle flotation test-work confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the optimised circuit with a high upgrade ratio and further increases in both light and heavy rare earth recoveries."
