FOUND A NEW - TITANIUM PRICE - 1 - there are even higher titanium ppm in the other assay charts - values 1700 - 7500 ppm
2 - Some ma say... 350 ppm/ grams is not worth chasing...
My reply ? It would - from a stance of -
TREO - total ree oxides - Ni, Ti, Zr, Cr, CO - Au, ( pm )
Simply....
furnace melt the metals into a concentrate - or - electrolysis
If by chance the Ti was found in the - green quartz as a solution - might be easier to pull out ?
What i find interesting is...
The ore body - in the 622 page report - mentions that the cores have considerable
chlorite - but.. tbd - if it is... or could be nickel in solution - as mnetioned in the article -
So... if there's lots of solution - how easy would it be to mine silica quartz that may contain more
solution than other - peer ore bodies ?
This is a subject that i'm not familiar with.
Would have to research it.
NEW TITANIUM PRICE - I found another price for - Titanium - per tonne.
Let's just say... it has been the worst time ever trying t ofind a price for metal.
I have never seen so many vlaues for titanium.
It's all over the map.
The best and most accurate price i could find is... Military Grade Titanium: This grade is used in military and industrial applications because of its high strength and resistance to wear and tear. It can cost from
$42.59 to $82.75 per Kilogram. Commercial Grade Titanium: This grade is used for various industrial purposes such as mining, oil and gas drilling equipment, electrical contacts, heat exchangers, and other equipment. It can cost from $15.49 to $41.62 per Kilogram. I believe now you got a clear answer for how much is titanium cost different by grade.
1000 Kg's in 1 tonne -
$30,000 / tonne ( i'll stick to a lower value )
x 1.30 usd conversion
= $39,000.00 cdn / tonne
350 ppm = 350 grams per tonne
There it would take 1.25 tonnes of ore to produce 1 lb of - titanium.
keep in mind - i saw other Ti values that ran far higher on other drills -
1700 = 7500 ppm $39,000
~2200 lbs - in one metric tonne
= $17.72 per pound
x 0.77 ( 3/4 lb = 350 grams )
= $13.64 - Ti - per tonne of ore
x 10,000,000 - ore tones ( 400m x 200m x 450m width x 2.5 weight )
= $136,400,000 / mil ( down considerably from last post )
If it were only titanium in the deposit at these levels...
It would be - uneconomical -
BUT SUCH IS NOT THE CASE -
iF ONE LOOKED AT IT FROM A STANCE OF - total select metal content - Gold, Titanium, Chromium, Cobalt, Nickel, Zirconium, Copper.
Each metal content would/could support a total metal value for ore body.
There's even magnesium in the ores.
When speaking concentrates - the values drop considerably -
One is not producing a pure metal. Nor separating each.
But as a whole, in concentrate, would be interesting what it could command.
This is the homework for the junior - lol
They didn't assay for - all the other minerals.... or did they.... and didn't show and tell ?
All we were shown for the - SCADDING DEPOSIT - were gold assays.
lol
What did their new drills find over the years ?
Didi BMK's drills concur with - Former Owner - who did report other minerals ?
Former operator - punched many holes in - Scadd, North Pit, and Currie, East Pit., South Pit
So.. that's my take on tihngs... We have other minerals that are of interest - titanium, chromium, zirconium
zirconium - is NOT as consistent as the - chromium and titanium.
checked other assay charts in the report -
And.... it's good to know we do have nickel - but low values.
They should really reassay for nickel using diff methods.
Since nickel is now found in - serpentine + chlorite ores.
These reports confirm - there's mega chlorites.
Cheers....
