CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyperion Metals Limited (ASX: HYM) ("Hyperion" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the Company's bulk test work and Phase 3 drilling program from its Titan critical mineral project ("Titan Project"), in Tennessee, USA.

The objective of the program was to confirm that the Titan Project is amenable to standard processing techniques and to produce products for potential customers and strategic partners discussions, additional analytical test work programs such as metallurgical testing of highly valuable rare earth bearing minerals and downstream test work related to the production of titanium powders.

Three ~500kg bulk samples were collected and sent for metallurgical test work at Mineral Technologies Inc. lab in Starke, Florida; one of the leading mining and mineral sand processing equipment suppliers globally. Two of the bulk samples were selected from the lower mineralized unit and one sample from the upper unit at the Titan Project. All three samples were progressed through standard, spiral wet processing techniques to produce heavy mineral concentrates.

Dry processing and separation test work was then undertaken, with activities including separation through high tension roll separators, rare earth drum magnets, rare earth roll magnets and electrostatic plate separators. Initial samples have been produced, including ilmenite, leucoxene/rutile, zircon, and the rare earth element containing mineral monazite.

Analytical data for the final products will be completed by SGS Laboratories in Lakefield, Ontario, with results expected during Q2 2021, and will further inform heavy mineral concentrate assemblage data for an initial resource estimate and flowsheet development for the Titan Project.

The Company has also completed 78 holes of the Phase 3 drilling program with the results expected to be released to market during Q2 2021 and together with the bulk sample are expected to lead to an initial Mineral Resource Estimate to be released to market in the coming months.

Commenting on the update, Anastasios (Taso) Arima, Managing Director of Hyperion Metals said:

"This bulk sample test work program completed by the outstanding team at Mineral Technologies Inc. in Florida and the continued rapid progress on resource delineation by my team continue to highlight the massive potential for Hyperion to become one of the most important suppliers of critical minerals in the USA. I look forward to the release of further results and the delineation of our initial Mineral Resource Estimate which will continue to move us towards our mission of developing a world leading, low-to-zero carbon critical minerals supply chain, all within the heart of the U.S."
