Molycor Gold Corp. announced the company has signed a contract with Hazen Research Inc. ("Hazen") for Hazen to start work (Phase 1) on the process development study for exploitation of the Tami Mosi project in Nevada.
Hazen will research technical literature of existing processes for extraction and recovery of magnesium from dolomite: this information to be evaluated for potential application to Molycor's resource at Tami Mosi. In conjunction with the literature study and review, Hazen will evaluate representative samples from selected areas of the property. This will involve physical, chemical, mineralogical tests and calcining work. Continuing work in Phase 2 will be based on the findings from the initial work. Phase 1 work commenced in February.
