The ONSHORE MAX™ (Magnetic Alloy eXtraction) process. Top, left to right, from bench-scale test work at SGS Canada Inc. on RPM Zone material: laboratory drum separator collecting magnetic concentrate by low-intensity magnetic separation, which produced a magnetic concentrate grading approximately 1.6% nickel; bench-scale flotation cell at the rougher flotation stage; and a sample of the awaruite alloy concentrate under a magnet (news release dated June 24, 2026). Four flotation tests averaged 67.4% nickel, ranging from 63.7% to 71.9% nickel, with 1.76% cobalt in the final test (news release dated June 24, 2026). Bottom: conceptual diagram of a mine-to-refinery supply chain for awaruite alloy concentrate with no smelting step.
