Exploration Orbite
(TSX VENTURE:ORT.A
- News) is pleased to
announce Ministere des Ressources
naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has authorized the company to extract the mineral substances needed
for metallurgical processing at its Cap-Chat pilot plant.
The approval allows Orbite
to extract a maximum volume of 500 tons of aluminous clay specimens in bulk
from its Grande-Vallee site. This quantity is
deemed essential to conducting the metallurgic tests slated for early 2011 at
the Cap-Chat plant.
"We are especially pleased to have
obtained the necessary approval from Ministere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune and to have been able to extract and transport the claystone to the Cap-Chat plant. The 500 tons of
extracted aluminous clay have already been processed at our Cap-Chat plant,
which will allow us to begin the tests according to plan. This stage is
another critical step toward making our pilot plant operational and clearly
reflects our progress," declared Richard Boudreault,
the company's president and CEO.
The company is pleased to announce that
it is on schedule and preparing to start work on the second pilot project in
the first quarter of 2011. It is also evaluating the possibility of mining
other materials from the Grande-Vallee claystone deposit using its patented extraction process.
