Update on Equipment Testing with Qu�bec Magnetite in Newcastle, England
May 1, 2012 - Micrex Development Corp. announces that the 15 tons of raw magnetite shipped to a grinding equipment manufacturer in England has been successfully processed to produce heavy media at 320 mesh.
A state of the art plant has been designed to produce heavy media in a water-free process. The plant will not require a ball mill, with all the inherent noise that goes with it. The grinding technology will produce product at less cost, and with significantly less environmental impact than traditional methods.
The magnetite processing plant will be built at St. Charles, Qu�bec in two stages.
Stage one will produce 66,000 tons per year, and will cost $2,300,000.
The equipment manufacturer is prepared to finance the plant on a lease purchase plan. The nearest competitor producing similar magnetite products is in Norway, so it is expected that North American sales will justify the expansion to stage two within eight months of completion of the first stage, at an additional cost of $2,000,000.
The products the plant will produce will be heavy media for the water purification industry, and for upgrading in the coal industry. There are also other markets and industrial applications for the products, such as heavy concrete that is used in various kinds of construction.
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX.V: MIX) is a mineral exploration company based in Alberta, Canada with mining properties in North America.
