First Phosphate flags peer-reviewed study on Bégin-Lamarche phosphate deposit, citing ~40% P2O5 concentrate potential
Bitget2026/09/24 19:30- First Phosphate reported a peer-reviewed study on its Bégin-Lamarche igneous phosphate deposit published in Ore Geology Reviews.
- Testing cited in the study indicated phosphate concentrate around 40% P₂O₅, supporting potential production of purified phosphoric acid for LFP batteries.
- Geochemical results showed low chlorine and other deleterious trace elements, positioning the deposit as a potential high-purity North American phosphate feedstock.
- Study flagged near-surface, thicker phosphate layers as supportive of potential open-pit mining scenarios, subject to further engineering and mine planning.
