EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Feb. 28, 2011) - Micrex Development Corp. (News - Market indicators) announces an update on the St. Charles Québec Magnetite/Rare Earth/Titanium/Apatite/Vanadium deposit.
As previously reported on February 15th, 2011, Micrex has retained lab services at McGill University, Montreal, Québec, to test for the Bond Index of Magnetite. The lab has since completed a Bond Index grinding test on samples from the St. Charles property and has yielded very satisfactory results. This test will aid in the completion of the Company's 43-101 report, which is in the process of being prepared.
Micrex has requested the McGill lab do a series of processes to make a pure form of magnetite, referred to as heavy media, for primary usage in the water purification and metallurgical coal industries. Micrex estimates the market for these two applications alone at 150,000 tons per year. Currently all of this domestic magnetite demand is being met with imports from Europe and South America.
Micrex is in discussions with a large international company and has been asked to deliver the material that has been processed by McGill for independent testing at their laboratory in the USA. This material has been delivered and results are pending.
Micrex has also received expressions of interest in its secondary minerals such as rare earths, titanium, vanadium and apatite, from multiple international mining conglomerates. The McGill lab will test further and assay the remaining fractions to confirm concentrations levels of: rare earths, titanium, vanadium and apatite. Test results will be announced soon after completion.
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENUTRE:MIX) is a mineral exploration company based in Alberta, Canada with mining properties in North America. Current focus is on the St. Charles de Bourget magnetite / rare earth property in Québec.
