(Alliance News) - IronRidge Resources Ltd on Tuesday said additional analysis has confirmed that spodumene is the dominant lithium phase across its Ewoyaa project in Ghana.
Further X-ray diffraction results from metallurgical test-work at Ewoyaa have re-affirmed spodumene as the dominant lithium mineral phase in all ten of the composites analysed.
IronRidge said that the spread of tested composites across Ewoyaa means it is confident in the continuity of spodumene as the dominant mineralogy.
Ironridge Chief Operating Officer Len Kolff said: "We are delighted that the XRD results for ten of our metallurgical composites continue to confirm spodumene as the dominant lithium mineral phase, with little to no contamination and consistency across all samples tested.
"This re-confirms results from the initial metallurgical test-work and provides further confidence in favourable spodumene consistency across the deposit footprint.
"All results to date point towards a simplified process flow-sheet design with remarkable mineralogical consistency in all ten metallurgical composites analysed."
Shares in IronRidge were up 1.0% at 14.39 pence on Tuesday afternoon in London.
