  • Vanadium extraction from disparate shale ores
    Patent number: 11697600
    Abstract: The invention provides for the orchestrated treatment of disparate fractions of a shale deposit to recover vanadium values, with distinct steps of beneficiation that together provide a combined vanadium-enriched concentrate amenable to subsequent combined steps of hydrometallurgical vanadium extraction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignee: First Vanadium Corp.
    Inventors: David Dreisinger, Jodi Esplin, Mike Johnson, Gary Kordosky, Erin Legault, Michael Mracek, Frederick Sveinson, Sandra Sveinson, Radomir Vukcevic

  • Recovery of gold from roaster calcine leach tailings
    Patent number: 9194023
    Abstract: A method to recover gold lost in roaster calcine-leach tailings, due to the formation of cyanide refractory compounds or morphologies during the roasting process. The process can include acid leaching of magnetic concentrate from roaster leach tailings, combining the acid leach slurry to the pre-acidulation tank for pressure oxidation feed, acid pressure oxidation of the pressure oxidation feed, and recovery of gold.
