Bullboard - Stock Discussion Forum Canadian Critical Minerals Inc V.CCMI

Alternate Symbol(s):  RIINF

Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. is a Canada-based mining company primarily focused on two near-term copper production assets in Canada. The Company’s main asset is the 100% owned Bull River Mine project (>135 million lbs of copper) near Cranbrook, British Columbia, which has a Mineral Resource containing copper, gold and silver. It also owns a 30% interest in the Thierry Mine project (>1.3... see more

ELECTROSTATIC SEPARATION

ELECTROSTATIC -  THE OTHER EXTRACTION 
Very intruiging  process -  would love to see BHT mill their ores and run a tonne of ores through a pilot plant -  would be interesting to see what sort of results it would achieve.

Two electrostatic discharge ports - (  pos + neg )
I'm thinking along the lines of,
what if gold, silver, copper and a few other minerals all reported to the NEG  discharge - what an easy way to separate the metals. And, what if, other metals reported to the POS discharge  - creates - two categories of separation.
- 50%  separation based on ( charability )  fairs better than39%  ore sortering.
- could create an instant concentrate due to ores are milled to fines.
- better than an ore sorter delaing with 1.5 kilo rocks ( wink )

Now the what if....
the cumalitive  concentrate of all heavies was acheived ?
Or, ot the point of, far less time with in a cyclone or ( ugh )  flotation cell ?

This is the kind of extraction i've been trying to hunt down -
Dealing with sands or fines
= literally plucks the choice minerals from waste ores.


This company - has several white papers.
Good pilot tests on severa lminerals  ( even irons and siderite )
It would be nice to see what a ( multi element ore ) would produce in recoveries.
My hinch says... if this style of extraction was squeezed into the mine model, it could
potentially add a few more ccredits without too much downtime sacraficed.

If a junior is having to handle the ores from blast t otruck to crush to mill, would it not make sense to implement a process to extract as many minerals as one can ?
Of course.

Now what's so appealing with this electrostatic unit is,
40/tonnes per hour.

40 tonnes
x 24/hr
= 960/ tonnes per day.
=  hits the sweet spot -  near same tonnage -  BH  wants to process

When i see a variety of minerlas that are present at surfacde - near the bull mine.
it's hard not to think the same minerals are als owith in bull's own ores.

Thankfully, BH will be scoping the minerology ofthe ores for their tailings.
This should provide insight as to what thery truly have with in the bull mine..
Now, will this minerology test also include waste ore - not just select veining ?
Hope so ... this is where i feel the cobaltite and perhaps other key minerals are hiding.

Ian did say, the cobaltite is - visably apparent on the mine walls.
Real headshaker as to why this was not at the forefront along side the copper.


- ores milled  to fines ( from get go )
- no water
-  no heat treatment
- 40/tonnes per hour 
- 1- 4 kwh cost per tonne
- 2 discharge reporting stations
- very decent recoveries
- potential to recover additional mineral credits

Given BH  has plenty of downtime - it would be ideal to to use this opportunity to perform a few more ore tests. After all, maybe this delay could be fate telling BH to try another format instead of flotation -  what an opportunity for a larger player to toy with this small junoor that seems to have the dark cloud hovering.  Things that make you go - hmmm.
