Aim-listed IronRidge Resources has concluded additional X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of metallurgical composites from its Ewoyaa project surrounds, in Ghana, which reaffirmed spodumene as the dominant lithium mineral phase within the Cape Coast lithium portfolio.
IronRidge said that, with the majority of lithium reports confirming spodumene as the dominant phase, it provides confidence in using a simple process flow-sheet design and ensures good customer acceptance, as spodumene has low trade amounts of undesirable petalite, eucryptite, lepidolite and amblygonite.
