[Panther Metals Plc (LON: PALM)](https://www.share-talk.com/panther-metals-reports-38-magnesium-recovery-at-dotted-lake/) has reported encouraging Phase 1 magnesium recovery results from its Dotted Lake Project in Ontario, Canada. Preliminary metallurgical testwork using the Extrakt™️ leaching technology achieved cumulative magnesium recovery of approximately 38%, significantly exceeding the 19–25% ceiling observed during conventional single-stage leaching.

The results establish an important baseline for further process development, with Panther now looking towards additional metallurgical testing, reagent management optimisation and techno-economic evaluation. The Dotted Lake ultramafic intrusive also contains elevated nickel, cobalt, chromium and other critical elements that could potentially be investigated as future by-products.

**Key topics discussed:**

- 38% cumulative magnesium recovery

- Performance versus conventional leaching

- Extrakt™️ leaching technology

- Magnesium-rich serpentine at Dotted Lake

- Nickel, cobalt and chromium by-product potential

- Reagent efficiency and downstream processing

- Next stages of metallurgical testing

- Path towards potential pilot-scale work
