Altair International - Company Update.CODY, WY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 3, 1997--Altair International (Alberta Stock Exchange Alberta Stock Exchange See Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX). AIL AIL 1. Angiocentric immunoproliferative lesion 2. Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy ., OTC Bulletin Board OTC Bulletin Board An electronic quotation listing of the bid and asked prices of OTC stocks that do not meet the requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ stock-listing system. AIGD.) Altair International Inc. today announced additional results from continuing Florida test work with the Centrifugal Jig. The Centrifugal Jig was placed in a continuous loop zircon/aluminum silicate silicate, chemical compound containing silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals, e.g., aluminum, barium, beryllium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, or zirconium. Silicates may be considered chemically as salts of the various silicic acids. circuit so that operating parameters of feed rate and feed slurry density could be held constant while other operating factors could be finely tuned, primarily ragging type and volume. Two operating combinations were examined, one to produce commercial zircon zircon Silicate mineral, zirconium silicate, ZrSiO4, the principal source of zirconium. Zircon is widespread as an accessory mineral in acid igneous rocks; it also occurs in metamorphic rocks and, fairly often, in detrital deposits. grades while maintaining high zircon recovery and the other a high throughput option designed to reject aluminum silicates with minimal zircon losses. The first group of tests yielded results in the range of 92 percent Zr/1 percent Al2O3 with 75 percent Zr recovery to 91 percent Zr/0.2 percent Al2O3 with 36 percent Zr recovery. The second test sequence was conducted at 3 to 5 times higher throughput rate Throughput rate is an obsolete term[1] in the terminology of automated chemical analysis. It may mean either:

Representative tests are: 98 percent Zr recovery with 40 percent Al2O3 rejection, 89 percent Zr recovery with 59 percent Al2O3 rejection, and 80 percent Zr recovery with 68 percent Al2O3 rejection. Test data are being studied. The above results represent a single pass through the Centrifugal Jig. Deployment of the Centrifugal Jig in multiple stages may represent an optimal operating configuration. In other projects, testing continues on fine coal at the University of Southern Illinois.

Results will be released when analysis are completed. -0- Note to Editors: The Alberta Stock Exchange neither approves nor disapproves of the information contained herein.
