Go Metals Launches Metallurgical Testing at KM98 Vanadium Titanomagnetite Project

Metallurgical Testing Begins at Québec’s KM98 Fe-Ti-V Project

Go Metals Corp. [CSE: GOCO] has commenced a metallurgical testing program at its KM98 Vanadium Titanomagnetite Project in Québec. The testing will assess the quality of magnetite and ilmenite concentrates, helping define the commercial potential of the project.

The team collected samples from the Roadside Occurrence, located along a central segment of a 12-kilometer magnetic anomaly.

They took ten bulk samples, each weighing 10 to 15 kilograms, from outcrop and subcrop zones containing massive and semi-massive oxide mineralization. These samples represent a 240-metre mineralized section and will provide baseline data for the project’s economic evaluation. The company focuses on understanding recovery rates and concentrate quality for magnetite, ilmenite, and vanadium.

Focus on Vanadium and Strategic Minerals at KM98

The KM98 project will undergo testing at IOS Géosciences in Chicoutimi, Québec. The lab will begin by evaluating a subset of samples to define initial processing parameters. These parameters will then guide the full program; additionally, it includes assessment of nickel, cobalt, copper, and scandium. This marks the first reconciliation of KM98’s mineralogy and chemistry, critical for moving forward with scoping-level studies.

CEO Scott Sheldon emphasized the strategic importance of metallurgical data. “Understanding what we can deliver in terms of concentrate quality sets the stage for future project development and potential partnerships,” he stated. Preliminary results are expected in December 2025, followed by a detailed metallurgical report.

SuperMetalPrice Commentary:

Go Metals’ early focus on metallurgy reflects a disciplined approach to de-risking the KM98 project. In an era of rising demand for critical minerals like vanadium and titanium, knowing recovery rates and concentrate specifications from the outset is vital. This data will be a cornerstone for economic modeling and potential offtake discussions. As battery materials and alloy components gain strategic importance, projects like KM98 could play a key role in future North American supply chains.
