Concentrates prepared from hematite, magnetite-carbonate and goethite material contained 68.13%, 68.24% and 65.99% iron respectively, for a reported weighted average of 67.7%. Combined silica and alumina averaged 1.0% in the concentrates. Test material came from coarse rejects from 2022 drilling; the company describes it as representing the central part of the current Inferred resource. A 2.5-tonne pilot program and subsequent pelletization and reduction tests are under way; the results do not establish commercial production or a recovery rate for the whole resource. ## Data ### Weighted-average iron content in flotation concentrates Company-reported weighted iron average across hematite, magnetite-carbonate and goethite concentrates in Labrador West testwork. Methodology: Weighted average reported across the three concentrate types in the company’s flotation table; pilot and downstream process testing is not complete. | label | value | unit | period | basis | value_qualifier | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Iron content in flotation concentrates | 67.7 | percent | 2026-10-14 | observed | exact | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/high-tide-labrador-west-iron-flotation-concentrate-testwork-october-2026/data/reported-figure?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/high-tide-labrador-west-iron-flotation-concentrate-testwork-october-2026/data/reported-figure?lang=en&format=csv) ### Weighted-average iron content in flotation concentrates Company-reported weighted iron average across hematite, magnetite-carbonate and goethite concentrates in Labrador West testwork.
