Molten Metals Corp. Purchases Processing Plant for Its Tienesgrund Antimony Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2022) - MOLTEN METALS CORP. (CSE: MOLT) (the "Company"), formerly "Battery Elements" is focused on acquiring and recommissioning past producing Antimony operations with the objective of becoming a meaningful player, producing several thousand tons a year over the next 3-5 years.
温哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省-(Newsfile Corp.-2022年8月10日)-熔融金屬公司。(CSE:MORT)(“公司),前身為“電池元素”,專注於收購和重新投入過去生產銻的業務,目標是成為一個有意義的參與者,在未來3-5年內每年生產數千噸銻。
In addition to our West Gore optioned property in Canada, in November 2021, Molten Metals established Slovak Antimony Corp as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Molten Metals. The Company has the express purpose of staking and reviving past- producing Antimony and Tin Assets in Slovakia.
除了我們在加拿大的West Gore有選擇權的財產外,熔融金屬公司於2021年11月成立了斯洛伐克銻公司,作為熔融金屬公司的全資子公司。該公司的明確目標是收購和重振斯洛伐克過去生產的銻和錫資產。
About Slovakian Antimony
關於斯洛伐克的銻
Slovakia has been at various times the largest source of mined antimony in Europe. The antimony ores began to be extracted in the late 18th century at depoists at Pernek and Pezinok. Around 1840 mining began at the deposits Liptovska Dubrava and Magurka. In Spis and Gemer regions the mines at Spisska Bana, Cucma and Poproc were initiated.
斯洛伐克在不同時期一直是歐洲最大的開採銻來源國。18世紀末,在Pernek和Pezinok的沉澱者開始開採銻礦石。1840年左右,採礦開始於利普托夫斯卡、杜布拉瓦和馬古爾卡等礦藏。在Spis和Gemer地區,Spisska Bana、Cucma和Poproc的地雷已經啟動。
By the 1980s, Slovakia had become the largest producer of Antimony in Europe with the number of mines still in operation right up until the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. These had continued to operate despite the Chinese predatory pricing that had shut down most of non-Chinese sourced Sb production after 1984. However, with subsidies removed, low prices and difficult economic conditions post-1989, the last remaining mines were shuttered in the early 1990's despite still containing substantial identified Antimony resources.
到20世紀80年代,斯洛伐克已經成為歐洲最大的銻生產國,直到1989年鐵幕倒塌,仍在運營的礦山數量一直在增加。儘管中國的掠奪性定價在1984年後關閉了大多數非中國來源的SB生產,但這些公司仍在繼續運營。然而,1989年後,隨着補貼的取消、低價和困難的經濟狀況,最後剩下的礦山在20世紀90年代初被關閉,儘管仍有大量已探明的銻資源。
Leading With Production
以產帶先
In July 2022, Slovak Antimony Corp acquired an Antimony/Tin processing circuit in Eastern Slovakia. The components of the production line have varying daily/ hourly throughputs, but the key ball mill has a rate of 7-15 tpd which essentially dictates the rate at which the whole flowsheet will operate.
2022年7月,斯洛伐克銻公司收購了斯洛伐克東部的銻/錫加工電路。生產線的部件具有不同的日/小時生產能力,但關鍵球磨機的日產量為7-15噸/天,這基本上決定了整個流程的運行速度。
Tienesgrund - Spisska Bane ("Tienesgrund") was awarded to Slovak Antimony Corp last year and we are in the process of commissioning our processing plant with the goal of processing, initially, the dumps from our Tienesgrund project and reopening the adits over the next quarter.
Tienesgrund-Spisska Bane(“Tienesgrund”)去年被授予斯洛伐克銻公司,我們正在調試我們的加工廠,目標是首先處理我們Tienesgrund項目的垃圾,並在下個季度重新開工。
The Tienesgrund deposit consists of Antimony-Gold rich veins that run from the upper end of the Bystry Potok Valley and extend to the Štofová Valley with this long mineralized belt terminating in the Tienes Valley south from Kloptaň Hill.
Tienesgrund礦牀由富含銻金的礦脈組成,這些礦脈從Bystry Potok山谷的上端延伸到Štofová山谷,這條長長的礦化帶終止於Tienes山谷,從Kloptaň山向南。
The three veins all run in parallel and all contain gold. Two of these veins were mined until 1939 but are known to still contain significant reserves.Tienesgrund represents the first project that Slovak Antimony Corp has been awarded and the expectation is that once we start operations that we will receive more opportunities within the country.
這三個礦脈都是平行的,都含有黃金。其中兩個礦脈在1939年之前一直在開採,但已知仍藴藏着大量儲量。Tienesgrund是斯洛伐克銻公司獲得的第一個項目,預計一旦我們開始運營,我們將在國內獲得更多機會。

About Antimony
關於銻
Antimony (symbol Sb from the Latin word stibium) is a silvery white metal. Antimony oxide is primarily used in fire-retardant formulations for plastics, rubbers, textiles, paper and paints, whereas Antimony trisulfide is used in the production of explosives, pigments and antimony salts.
Sb(拉丁語Sb的符號)是一種銀白色金屬。氧化銻主要用於塑料、橡膠、紡織品、紙張和塗料的阻燃配方,而三硫化二銻用於生產炸藥、顏料和銻鹽。
It can also be used for producing semiconductors, infrared detectors and diodes. Because of its relative inflexibility, it is usually mixed into alloys for further application, e.g., manufacture of lead storage batteries, solder, sheet and pipe metal, bearings, castings etc.
它還可以用於生產半導體、紅外探測器和二極管。由於其相對不靈活,它通常被混合到合金中以供進一步應用,例如製造鉛蓄電池、焊料、薄板和管材金屬、軸承、鑄件等。
Antimony is a strategic metal used to harden lead in ammunition/ordnance and lead-acid storage batteries. Traditionally, Antimony has seen its demand driven by military usage, but this has changed since fire retardants arose to become the main application for the metal.
銻是一種戰略金屬,用於硬化彈藥/軍械和鉛酸蓄電池中的鉛。傳統上,銻的需求受到軍事用途的推動,但自從阻燃劑成為這種金屬的主要用途以來,這種情況發生了變化。
The latest new technology to utilize the metal is Antimony molten salt batteries for mass storage. The potential here is for a quantum surge in demand if this new technology gains broad adoption.
利用這種金屬的最新新技術是用於大容量存儲的銻熔鹽電池。如果這項新技術得到廣泛採用,這裏的需求可能會大幅增長。
China has long dominated the production of the metal, however, is suffering declining internal production from mines, but it still dominates the processing of the concentrates, much of which comes from artisanal sources in the developing world.
中國長期以來一直主導着這種金屬的生產,然而,中國國內的礦山產量正在下降,但它仍主導着精礦的加工,其中很大一部分來自發展中國家的手工來源。
As a result of this dominance, Antimony is one of the few metals that registers as critical in all the rankings (US, EU, Canada, JOGMEC, UK & Australia) of criticality of supply.
由於這種主導地位,在所有供應臨界性排名(美國、歐盟、加拿大、JOGMEC、英國和澳大利亞)中,銻是少數幾種被列為關鍵金屬之一。
