PTX Metals reported a locked-cycle flotation test at its W2 copper-nickel-PGE project in Northern Ontario.
Test delivered 97% copper recovery into a 28% copper concentrate, supporting potential production of a saleable copper product.
Concentrate also captured 70% palladium at 7.2 g/t and 54% gold at 0.8 g/t; platinum recovery was 2.3%.
Work used a simple flowsheet with 80% passing 50 microns, followed by rougher flotation, then three cleaning stages.
Future testwork targets higher precious-metals recovery, grind-size sensitivity, head-grade variability, plus a separate nickel flotation circuit.
