Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd ('GMEL' or 'the Company') has successfully completed the refinery pilot plant operations in Finland for the Kvanefjeld Project. These pilot plant activities were performed as part of the EURARE program for which the Company is a work package leader.
The final phases of the pilot plant operations were completed at Outotec Pori Research Laboratories in October 2015. The Pori Research laboratories are part of Outotec, the provider of leading technologies and services for the sustainable use of Earth's natural resources.
The Company is extremely pleased with the refinery pilot plant outcomes. The operation was characterised by results that exceeded expectations with few surprises. GMEL would like to acknowledge the innovation and efforts of its technical team. The success of the pilot plant operations was the culmination of years of metallurgical work which has taken the process from an initial concept to a rigorously-tested design.
