Velox Energy Materials Inc. announced the commencement of a major metallurgical testwork program on vanadium samples from the Cambridge Vanadium deposit in Queensland. Highlights: Appointment of leading process engineers, BHM Process Consultants, to oversee the metallurgical program across the Cambridge deposit. Representative core samples from the recent diamond drilling program selected to assess different mineralogical zones within the prospective Toolebuc Formation.

Samples have been submitted to Brisbane Met Labs (BML), an expert in the assessment of North Queensland vanadium deposits. BML has multiple years in the analysis of Vanadium ores from Northern Queensland, which also includes being awarded an Industry Innovation grant for the establishment of a -vanadium pilot plant to process ore into vanadium pentoxide for the VRFB industry. Results from the metallurgical testwork program are expected in mid-2024.

Metallurgical Testwork Program: Perth-based BHM Process Consultants (BHM) have been appointed to oversee the metallurgical testwork program for the Cambridge Vanadium Project in North Queensland, Australia. BHM has excellent experience in processing from metallurgical testwork through to flowsheet design and plant commissioning. A total of 12 composite samples were created from the recent diamond drilling program, from 4 drillholes that represent the bulk of the defined Cambridge deposit.

Each composite represents different mineralogical zones within the Toolebuc Formation that host the vanadium mineralisation. The samples will be analysed by Brisbane Met Labs, (BML), an expert in the assessment of North Queensland Vanadium deposits. In 2021, BML was awarded an Industry Innovation grant by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources in Australia for the building and commissioning of a Vanadium Pilot Plant to allow processing of ore into Vanadium Pentoxide for the International Vanadium Redox Flow Battery market.

The results of the metallurgical testwork program are expected in mid-2024 and will be used to guide the next stages of development of the project.
