Glencore will have a large sample and an entire drill intersect sample for IsaMILL process and metallurgical analysis. <\/p>\n<p>Glencore\u2019s IsaMILL technology is considered the world\u2019s only horizontal high-speed stirred media mill designed for energy efficient ultrafine grinding in mining of base metals in a reliable compact scalable footprint. <\/p>\n<p>Vice President of Exploration Gary Lohman says this is a \u201ccritical phase\u201d for the bulk sample program. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an extremely high-grade lens (13.71% copper-equivalent over 15.10m) and we will test the direct to smelter option through Glencore\u2019s analysis and metallurgical testing,\u201d Lohman says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a key milestone for us and look forward to announcing the results and our path forward to completion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CEO Patrick Cruickshank says this is the culmination of over one year of discussions, analysis and design creating a path forward for the \u201chigh-grade\u201d lens bulk sample project. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEndless months of defining this stage and now we are moving forward to execute on it,\u201d Cruickshank says. <\/p>\n<p>Nine Mile Metals is a Canadian explorer focused on VMS exploration in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp located in New Brunswick, Canada. <\/p>\n<p>Write to <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/nine-mile-marks-critical-phase-in-bulk-sampling\/mailto:aaliyah.rogan@mining.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Aaliyah Rogan<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mining.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Images: Nine Mile Metals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nine Mile Metals (CSE:NINE) is conducting bulk sample metallurgical analysis on the Nine Mile Brook Volcanic Massive Sulphide&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[563,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-23567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glencore","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-glencore"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
