📢 Pivotal testwork delivers high gallium and rare earth extraction at Block 3
Nimy Resources (ASX: NIM) has achieved a significant metallurgical milestone at its Block 3 Gallium–REE Project, with early testwork delivering strong extraction rates for both gallium and rare earth elements.
Key results include:
🔹 84% gallium extraction
🔹 80–95% rare earth element (REE) extraction
🔹 Results provide a strong technical basis for further process development
🔹 Nimy-developed baseline extraction route represents valuable proprietary IP and process knowledge
🔹 Further beneficiation, reagent and process optimisation underway with Strategic Metallurgy and Curtin University
🔹 Results will feed directly into the Block 3 Scoping Study
Importantly, the results demonstrate the potential of Block 3 to support the growing demand for non-Chinese sources of gallium and rare earths across Western markets.
Managing Director Luke Hampson said the results represent another key milestone on the pathway towards establishing Block 3 as a potential major source of gallium for Western markets.
Testwork continues, with multiple processing routes being evaluated to improve recoveries, reduce operating costs and optimise potential project economics.
