Victory Metals (ASX:VTM) reported the successful production of gallium in its final mixed rare earth carbonate product at 358 grams per tonne grade of gallium oxide from its North Stanmore clay-hosted heavy rare earth and critical mineral project in Western Australia, according to a Wednesday Australian bourse filing.
The gallium was successfully recovered using a low-cost leaching process and the recovery occurred concurrently with rare earth elements, requiring no additional processing stages.
The rare earth elements were extracted from material taken from samples collected from 13 drill holes from North Stanmore, leaching at low temperatures and pressure.
The firm plans to upgrade its mineral resource estimate for the project to include gallium.
