A few days ago, NTU revealed it is accelerating a feasibility study for a commercial-scale benefaction plant at the Browns Range Pilot Plant in WA.
The company is in the process of completing the construction and installation of the ore sorter equipment with a trial planned in the second quarter of 2021.
Northern Minerals is aiming to have first cashflow from the plant in 2023, two years earlier than previously anticipated.
Taking a look at its financials, Northern Minerals went cash flow positive in the December quarter, receiving almost $9 million in Government grants and tax incentives.
However, the company still burnt more than $3 million on production and just over $1.6 million on exploration and evaluation.
As of December 31, Northern Minerals had more than $10.5 million in funding, representing ample quarters of use.
