An announcement from Victory Goldfields Limited ( (AU:VTM) ) is now available.
Victory Metals has reported breakthrough metallurgical test results from its North Stanmore project, showing that simple, chemical-free gravity separation can upgrade hafnium grades 26-fold while recovering 66% of the metal into just 3.5% of the original ore mass. This process also achieves a 43-fold zirconium upgrade, allows 96.5% of ore to be rejected early, and provides a clean, low-cost pathway to recover hafnium and zirconium as valuable by-products alongside its heavy rare earth extraction.
The company highlights that its current mineral resource contains about 1.55 million kilograms of hafnium, a rare defence-critical metal with extremely limited global supply and high prices driven by demand from jet engines, hypersonic missiles, nuclear reactors and advanced electronics. By demonstrating a scalable, low-cost concentration route in a clay-hosted system, Victory positions North Stanmore as a potentially significant long-term hafnium supplier for Western defence and high-tech supply chains seeking alternatives to China- and Russia-linked sources.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VTM) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Victory Goldfields Limited stock, see the AU:VTM Stock Forecast page.
