CALGARY, AB, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (the "Company" or "CEM") announces further positive results from its ongoing efforts to recover strategic and critical metals from the black shales discovered at its Thor Project, located in northeast Saskatchewan, adjacent to the town of Tisdale.
CEM has achieved proof-of-concept for a process to produce Smelter Grade Alumina ("SGA"), the principal feedstock used in aluminum metal production. Testing of the process that converts boehmite produced from precursors associated with High Purity Alumina ("HPA") and Chemical Grade Alumina ("CGA") has consistently yielded samples that achieve the same purity and specifications as SGA produced through the Bayer Process of refining bauxite, the current industry standard.
In addition, the Company confirms the formal commencement of its Prefeasibility Study ("PFS"). A PFS provides a defensible engineering and economic assessment that defines CEM's mining, refining, and smelting pathways; upgrades resource confidence; establishes preliminary capital and operating costs; evaluates logistics, infrastructure and market options; and determines whether the project is technically, economically, and commercially viable enough to advance to a full Feasibility Study ("FS").
