Leaching Laterites: Two New Processes Make Progress
Also earlier this year, GME Resources announced that its patent applications for acid regeneration and ore pelletization-processes that will be used in the proposed heap leach flow sheet for its NiWest nickel laterite project-had been granted. The announcement followed the release of results in December 2013 for a scoping study of the heap leaching and direct …

NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project Process Flowsheet Update
The solution neutralisation and Fe/Al removal process is considered the most critical stage of the process flow sheet. The continuous pilot scale work has confirmed initial batch testing results that this process can be undertaken at ambient temperature and by utilising a single stage approach (refer Appendix 1).
