하이랜드 구리 회사 (TSXV: HI; OTCQB: HDRSF)는 초미세 플로테이션 기술 구현을 목표로 하는 고급 금속 공정 테스트를 위한 샘플 수집에 중점을 둔 새로운 채굴 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 회사의 프런트 엔드 엔지니어링 및 디자인 작업의 일환으로, 입도-회수 곡선을 향상시키고 프로젝트 경제성을 개선하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
이 기술은 두 가지 이점을 제공할 수 있습니다: 향상된 회수율과 감소된 가공 공장의 발자국, 운영 효율성과 환경 목표를 모두 지원합니다. CEO 배리 오셰이는 금속 회수를 향상시키면서 환경 영향을 줄일 수 있는 혁신적인 기술을 구현하는 프로그램의 중요성을 강조했습니다.
채굴 프로그램은 2025년 3월 중순에 종료될 것으로 예상되며, 샘플은 회사의 운영을 위한 기술 가능성을 검증하기 위해 전문 금속 공학 실험실과 협력하여 분석될 것입니다.
Highland Copper Company (TSXV: HI; OTCQB: HDRSF) a lancé un nouveau programme de forage axé sur la collecte d'échantillons pour des tests métallurgiques avancés, visant spécifiquement la mise en œuvre de la technologie de flottation ultra-fine. L'initiative, qui fait partie des travaux d'ingénierie et de conception en amont de l'entreprise, vise à améliorer la courbe grade-récupération et à optimiser l'économie du projet.
Cette technologie pourrait potentiellement offrir des avantages doubles : des taux de récupération améliorés et une réduction de la empreinte de l'usine de traitement, soutenant à la fois l'efficacité opérationnelle et les objectifs environnementaux. Le PDG Barry O'Shea a souligné l'importance du programme dans la mise en œuvre de technologies innovantes qui pourraient améliorer la récupération des métaux tout en réduisant l'impact environnemental.
Le programme de forage devrait se terminer d'ici mi-mars 2025, avec des échantillons qui seront analysés en partenariat avec des laboratoires métallurgiques de premier plan pour valider le potentiel de la technologie pour les opérations de l'entreprise.
