Arianne Phosphate announced that it has received further results from tests designed to optimize its metallurgical process and reduce its operating costs. The tests, performed by COREM Laboratories in Quebec City and with the help of NORDCHEM, were designed to further evaluate new collector however, this time, the process was run at lower water temperatures to simulate the water temperatures available at site through most of the operating year. Using water at 4°C, as opposed to the originally tested 20°C, showed no adverse effect on the recoveries or quality of Arianne's phosphate concentrate and thus, will allow Arianne to produce the same quality product while reducing the time and costs associated with heating.
