A revised definitive feasibility study (DFS) into the Barrambie vanadium/titanium/magnetite project, has confirmed a vanadium production pathway, with owner Neometals now hoping to focus on extracting value from the titanium resource.
The revised DFS estimated that Barrambie, in Western Australia, could produce some 6 337 t/y of ferrovanadium over a mine-life of 15 years, based on a mineral resource of 280million tonnes and an ore reserve of 39.9-million tonnes.
