Jervois to integrate Pressure Oxidation Leach Circuit into SMP Refinery

January 18, 2021

Highlights

- Flowsheet optimisation for Jervois’ São Miguel Paulista nickel-cobalt refinery determines integration of a pressure oxidation (“POX”) leach circuit
- POX leach circuit will debottleneck capacity and provide greater flexibility to refinery feed options
- Jervois plans to process sulphide concentrate from its Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”) in the United States as well as third-party concentrates
- Jervois is in discussions with potential third-party suppliers
- ICO remains on schedule for initial production from mid 2022; site construction adjusted to separated concentrate products to maximise optionality of SMP Refinery copper capacity, and enhance restart economics
- Jervois on track to become a vertically integrated producer capable of refining cobalt and nickel.
