Greenvale Delivers Positive Results from Test Program 5 at Alpha Torbanite Project, QLD
Project Name: Alpha Torbanite Project
Project Location: Queensland (QLD), Australia
Project Stage: Test Program Completed
ProjectBank Summary:
Greenvale Energy Limited (ASX: GRV) has reported positive outcomes from its Liquefaction Test Program 5 at the Alpha Torbanite Project in Queensland. The program, conducted by the University of Jordan, aimed to improve the viscosity of bitumen produced from Alpha ore to meet C170 asphalt specifications. The results show strong bitumen recovery and viscosity improvements, with further potential to achieve premium-grade C170 bitumen through fine-tuning experimental parameters. The test program used a blend of three formations from the Alpha orebody and explored optimal conditions for temperature, pressure, and catalyst usage, with promising outcomes.
Greenvale Energy Highlights:
Successful completion of Test Program 5 with strong bitumen recovery and improved viscosity.
Potential to produce premium-grade C170 asphalt with further experimental optimisation.
Test program conducted by the University of Jordan, a leading institution in geotechnical and liquefaction studies.
MD/CEO Statement:
Mark Turner, CEO of Greenvale Energy, commented: "These encouraging results from small-scale lab testing confirm the potential to recover high-quality bitumen with improved viscosity. We will now work with the University of Jordan to assess the next steps, including bulk testwork programs to further optimise results and bitumen properties."
