RC Drilling progressing well at
High resolution drone magnetic survey in progress at
RC drilling at Colina2 is progressing very well, the first batch of samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratories Santiago, and results are expected in approx. 5-6 weeks.
Epithermal style gold mineralisation is the target, as discovered in the trenching work (ASX release 18/11/2020).
A high resolution drone magnetic survey (25m line spacing at 25m height) has been completed over Colina2, with processing by the company's geophysicist underway in
The survey also provided an accurate Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with accompanying orthophotography over the entire project area.
High resolution drone magnetic survey is currently underway on Lahuin in order to provide high quality magnetic data for interpretation to generate new drilling targets and an accurate DTM and accompanying orthphotography.
Drilling at Llahuin is planned to commence after completion of the Colina2 drilling during Q1.
Manganese Battery Metals - The future for the Los Pumas Manganese Project-Chile
SUH is engaging technical specialists to guide process and development option studies for the use of Los Pumas ore in Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) batteries or similar, aimed at the EV market
SUH target is to provide manganese ores to produce High Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM)
Mn used in the vast majority of NCM batteries. HPMSM is currently the lowest cost NCM cathode metal and lowers the cost of batteries
SUH strives to produce carbon neutral HPMSM or similar
SUH Los Pumas Manganese Project Presentation
The Los Pumas Manganese resource is currently in the process of being upgraded to be JORC 2012 compliant.
All historic core and pulps have been secured and are currently being transported to the Lahuin storage facility for further cataloguing and potential testwork.
The Company is in discussions with end user buyers and JV partners for the
SUH has engaged industry experts to carry out a mineralogy review to assess the process flowsheet options to produce High Purity Manganese Sulphate (HPMSM). Early work shows the DMS product is low in impurities with no identified technical impediments to producing HPMSM. There may be potential to benefit from precipitating potassium from the Cryptomelane dominant ore as Sulphate of Potash (SOP).
