Nico has retained ALS to conduct ore preparation and metallurgical testwork including bench scale optimisation testwork in support of the proposed flowsheet for the Wingellina Project. Our focus is on HPAL processing to produce a Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate, laying the foundation for further advancements in our metallurgical processes. The testwork ore is representative of the predominant limonite ore type within the Wingellina deposit.
