Forsys Provides Update for the Norasa Project, Namibia
17 Março 2023 - 8:00AM
Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an
update on strategic developments at the Company’s
Norasa
Uranium Project (“Norasa Project” or “Norasa”) located in
Namibia, Africa. The Norasa Uranium Project is wholly-owned by the
Company’s subsidiary Valencia Uranium (Pty) Ltd. (“Valencia
Uranium”) and comprises the Valencia Uranium Project (ML149) and
the Namibplaas Uranium Project (EPL3638) in the Erongo region of
Namibia.
A Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) was
originally completed by Amec Foster Wheeler in 2015 for the Norasa
Project, and subsequently, various metallurgical testwork programs
and desk top studies have been undertaken.
Ausenco Limited (“Ausenco”) were contracted by
Forsys Metals in 2022 to review the 2015 DFS for any potential
technical gaps and upgrades and to identify cost saving
initiatives. Several aspects were identified by Ausenco and
recommendations were made for technical optimisation and cost
saving opportunities, compared to the original DFS.
Technical trade-off studies will now be
conducted to evaluate the options for practical and economical
benefit, in comparison to the 2015 DFS. In this regard, Valencia
Uranium has appointed DRA Mineral Projects Pty Ltd
(“DRA”) as the engineering consulting company to
conduct the trade-off studies. DRA are highly experienced in
Namibian mining as well as uranium mining studies and resource
projects in Southern Africa.
The scope of work includes a review of testwork
information to confirm optimal grind size considering uranium
recovery, costs, materials handling and tailings handling. Balance
of trade-off studies include the comminution circuitry design;
leach circuitry design and layout; and dewatering circuit
configuration and design. A tailings deposition option study will
also be undertaken. Techno-financial evaluations will be done, in
addition to qualitative risk assessments to select the best design
basis for further DFS validation.
An eight week time frame is planned for the
trade-off studies. A drilling program for confirmatory and
variability metallurgical testwork will also be undertaken. The
Company will provide further updates on these ongoing studies as
they become available.
Mark Frewin, Forsys CEO said “We are pleased to
appoint DRA to conduct these studies as they are highly qualified
and have a strong understanding and experience with uranium mining.
The appointment is a key element towards engineering and design
optimization at Norasa. We are confident that the studies will
highlight opportunities to improve the project economics in a
market where uranium is now being treated as a environmentally
sound renewable energy source.”
