[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nHIGHLIGHTS:\n\n\nThe company has mobilised and commenced the Phase 2, 140 line kilometre,\n high resolution 2D seismic survey which is a key component of the Phase\n 2 Exploration Programme.  The exploration activities are being\n completed with the aim to increase the size of the Sintoukola deposit\n as well as allow updating and upgrading of the existing sylvinite\n Mineral Resource.\n\n\nInitial metallurgical test work has highlighted the quality of the\n sylvinite mineralisation and demonstrated the potential for a\n relatively simple, low cost processing circuit with higher than\n anticipated KCl recovery.\n\n\nPre-feasibility trade off studies completed and evaluation of results\n under review.\n\n\nHigh resolution airborne topographic survey commissioned to commence in\n September 2011.\n\n\n\n\nPERTH, Australia, Aug. 25, 2011 /CNW/ -\n\n\nEXPLORATION\n\n\nElemental Minerals Limited, TSX: ELM, ASX: ELM, (\"Elemental\") has\n mobilised and started the 140 line kilometre high resolution 2D seismic\n survey for the Sintoukola potash project located in the Republic of\n Congo (Fig.1). Two Enviro-Vibs and associated equipment were airlifted\n from Johannesburg, South Africa arriving at the Pointe Noire\n international airport on the 19thAugust 2011 and transported by road to the Sintoukola Project site on\n the 20thAugust 2011 and initial test work is under way.\n\n\nThis 60 day seismic survey programme being conducted by GAP Geophysics\n is planned for completion by the end of October 2011. The survey will\n allow for high definition 2D seismic data to be collected over the Kola\n deposit that will provide high resolution subsurface geology and\n structural data for to allow detailed ore body modelling and mine\n planning.\n\n\nPRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY UPDATE\n\n\nTrade-off studies have been completed and evaluation of results is under\n review. These studies include plant location, rail, road and conveyor\n transport options, power supply, brine water transfer and disposal,\n hydropower potential, port facility, mining method, mine sizing and\n product specification. The final stage of the PFS will start in early\n September to assess the identified project alternatives within the\n context of the social and environmental requirements relevant to the\n Sintoukola Project.\n\n\nThe initial metallurgical test wor...
