Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL, OTC:BHLIF, TSX-V:BHLI) has started reworking a new metallurgical particle sorting study on the composite samples collected in 2023 from San Domingo drill core using novel AI-based techniques.
The purpose of this new test-work plan, which builds on earlier metallurgical work in 2023, is to move Bradda Head closer to a potential production decision later in 2025, said the statement.
Canadian group ABH Engineering, an international leader in the scoping, design, and installation of mineral processing facilities for the mining industry, will supervise the study.
Its focus will be to increase mill feed grade, reduce product impurities and reject barren rock before it enters any milling process to reduce cut-off grades and increase potential profit.
Ian Stalker, executive chairman, stated: “We're excited to embark with this new AI-powered analysis which we believe will add to the positive gravity concentrate metallurgical results from 2023.
"We believe we're on the path towards developing mineable resources at San Domingo, and these additional mineral and metallurgical results may well be pivotal towards unlocking the near-term value of this US-based pegmatite project."
