St. George Mining Ltd. ( (AU:SGQ) ) just unveiled an update.
St George Mining has entered a strategic alliance with Boston Metal to trial its patented Molten Oxide Electrolysis technology at the Araxá niobium-rare earths project in Brazil. The collaboration will assess the suitability of Araxá ore for ferroniobium production using this electrified process, which can utilise a wide range of feedstocks and is already being commercialised in Brazil.
The MOE technology could significantly simplify niobium processing by reducing or eliminating traditional beneficiation, hydrometallurgical refining and aluminothermic conversion steps, lowering costs, waste and carbon emissions. St George also sees potential for rare earth-rich slag from the process to cut rare earths processing costs, while it continues conventional metallurgical test work, keeping options open for additional partnerships and processing routes at Araxá.
The alliance leverages Boston Metal’s strong backing from major industrial investors and its growing global profile in low-carbon metals production. If successful, the trial could help establish St George as a leader in sustainable ferroniobium production, enhancing its competitive position in the critical metals sector and potentially improving project economics at Araxá.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SGQ) stock is a Sell with a A$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on St. George Mining Ltd. stock, see the AU:SGQ Stock Forecast page.
