PMET Resources Scales Up Caesium Sampling at CV13 for Downstream Processing
Event summary
- PMET collected over 2.5 tonnes of pollucite pegmatite from the CV13 Vega Zone using large-diameter coring.
- The samples will support larger-scale downstream chemical testwork and industry product engagement.
- Ore sorting testwork is anticipated to begin in Q4 2026, with results expected in the first half of 2027.
- The company aims to produce 500–1,000 kg of pollucite concentrate to advance development studies.
The big picture
PMET's large-scale sampling program at CV13 is a strategic move to advance its caesium development pipeline, aligning with the growing demand for critical minerals in clean energy and technology applications. The focus on downstream processing partnerships underscores the company's push toward commercialization, positioning it within the broader trend of resource developers seeking to secure supply chains for high-value minerals.
