Based on this test work, the overall process plant recovery was 85% for uranium (derived from 89% leach feed preparation recovery and 95% subsequent alkaline leach circuit recovery); and 53% for vanadium (derived from 89% leach feed preparation recovery and 60% subsequent alkaline leach circuit recovery) (see\n \n February 7, 2019\n \n News Release, filed on SEDAR).\n \n \n Preparations are underway for testing the next step in the milling process: membrane filtration.  Four litres of leach solution have been prepared for the small-scale membra...
