Canadian North Resources Inc. Reports Metal Extraction of 96-98% Nickel and Cobalt Using Low-carbon Footprint Bio-Leaching Technology for the Ferguson Lake Project
Highlights: Metal extraction of 96.1 - 5% nickel and 96.1 - 97.7% cobalt from bioleaching tests. Bioleaching could offer much higher metal recoveries than flotation (29-51% nickel and 48-89% cobalt), significantly increasing the value of current mineral resources. Both massive sulphides and rougher sulphide tails are amenable to bioleaching, potentially producing nickel/cobalt sulphates onsite for
