Mesa Exploration Corp. [TSX-V: MSA] - Mesa Exploration Engages IntelliMet

Mesa Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: MSA) has engaged IntelliMet LLC of Missoula Montana to perform initial metallurgical design for the wholly owned Green Energy mineral brine project. IntelliMet will evaluate the processing characteristics for lithium, potash, magnesium, boron and bromine. The work will establish the following information:

- Expected recoveries of Lithium, Potash, Magnesium, Boron and Bromine
- Flow sheet and operating parameters
- Summary of types and amounts of processing chemicals
- Equipment specifications for pumps, pipes, valves, and tanking
- General estimation of the costs for the proposed system
- Assumptions to be based on brine flow rates of 6,000, 12,000, and 24,000 barrels per day
Subsequent drilling, engineering, chemical analysis and pilot plant testing will be used to refine IntelliMet's findings. This metallurgical evaluation is a fundamental step in quantifying the project's economic potential; the results are anticipated within 45 days. The initial drilling program is expected to begin this spring/summer followed thereafter by additional engineering, chemical analysis and pilot plant testing.
