Nord Precious Metals Advances Re-2Ox Metallurgical Testing for Metal Recovery

July 29, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NTH) reports that SGS Canada Inc. has outlined a two-phase bench-scale metallurgical test program designed to translate the Re‑2Ox flowsheet into a pilot-ready design. The Re-2Ox process targets the recovery of critical and precious metals from concentrates containing elevated deleterious metal levels.

Phase 1 will establish operating parameters through systematic bench testing across the Re-2Ox flowsheet. Phase 2 will process a single autoclave batch through each downstream circuit, validating continuous operation at pre-pilot scale.

The SGS bench-scale data will support Nord's progression toward Technology Readiness Level 7, positioning Re‑2Ox for commercial licensing following the MICA-funded pilot demonstration at Temiskaming Testing Labs.

"This programme converts laboratory insight into purchase-order detail," said Frank J. Basa, B.Eng., Chief Executive Officer.

The bench-scale data will support modular unit specifications for deployments, capital cost estimates enabling build-own-operate-transfer agreements, technical data supporting penalty element removal targets exceeding 99%, and product specifications adaptable to market requirements.

Phase 1 data will allow SGS to produce equipment lists and obtain supplier quotations for the planned one‑tonne‑per‑day Re‑2Ox pilot line at Temiskaming Testing Labs. The Company intends to finance Phase 1 from existing resources, complemented by the previously announced C$200,000 MICA grant.

SGS will issue a formal proposal incorporating the above scope, deliverables, and a detailed schedule.
