First Nickel Production from Testwork

Appoints SNC-Lavalin to Conduct Pre-feasibility Study for Plant at Leinster
Braemore (AIM:BRR) announces the successful completion of the program of testwork at Outotec's research facilities in Pori, Finland for the extraction of nickel from the BHP Leinster tailings dams in Western Australia. The continuous pilot plant hydrometallurgical testwork allowed the optimisation of process
parameters and demonstrated the first production of nickel sulphate solutions as well as sulphate solutions of by-product base metals, copper, cobalt and zinc.
Furthermore the program allowed for the first production of high purity nickel metal through electro-winning. The first metal products to be produced by this leaching technology were presented to Braemore during a visit to Outotec last week.
Pre-Feasibility Study for Sulphuric Acid Plant
Braemore has entered into an agreement with SNC-Lavalin, a global leader in the design and construction of Sulphuric Acid Plants, to conduct a Pre-Feasibility study for a Sulphuric Acid Plant for the Leinster Nickel Tailings Project in Western Australia.
Managing Director Hamish Bohannan said: "These results represent a significant achievement for Braemore, supporting our faith in the direct leach process for the recovery of nickel metal from tailings. We are particularly pleased with the quality of the plated high purity nickel metal and the high recoveries of the secondary base metals."
