Unique technology:
Hydrochlorination of oxidized nickel ores
Hydrogen chloride used to chlorinate ore
 Sublimation of Ni and Co chlorides at 1,050-1,100 ºC
 93% Ni and 88% Co extraction rates at lab tests
 Environmentally safe – hydrogen chloride reused in closed
cycle
 Lower operational costs compared to traditional
technologies
 Use of brown coal from own Mamyt deposit as energy source
 Currently primarily used to recover titanium and rare earth
metals in FSU countries

19
Pilot Processing Plant: KKM

Processing capacity: 12.5 tons of ore per day


Pilot Plant Progress Results:
Successful test

Ore was processed yielding chlorides of Ni, Co and other metals
First ever successful test of hydrochlorination process on a pilot
plant scale


Collected 8 batches of chlorides
Spectrographic and chemical analysis showed Ni content of 10%
to 15% per chloride batch

Continue test running to formulate required procedures, protocols
and operational guidelines for commercial utilization of the
hydrochlorination process
