Red Mountain Mining (RMX) is advancing its Oaky Creek antimony project through critical metallurgical testing. The company is analyzing a 20kg sample from historical mining sites in New South Wales to assess processing potential and ore quality. Initial findings suggest favorable mineralogical characteristics, with coarse-grained stibnite crystals that could reduce processing energy requirements. The comprehensive study aims to validate commercial viability by examining mineral composition, recovery rates, and potential concentrate production. Auralia Metallurgy will use advanced analytical techniques like XRD-EDS and QEMSCAN to characterize the ore, with the goal of developing a concentrate containing up to 40% antimony. This strategic approach demonstrates the company's commitment to systematically de-risking the Oaky Creek asset before expanding exploration efforts.
