As mentioned in previous releases, Hole number CA 24-07 from our latest exploration campaign intersected significant high-grade material with oxide mineralization at 12 g/t gold and 3000 g/t silver over 5.2 meters intercept length and sulfide mineralization at 10.3 g/t gold, 1671 g/t silver and 4% copper, over 9.2 meters intercept length. The test work results are as follows.
Leach Test
Carried out with activated carbon present to simulate carbon in leach (CIL), as the material is known to be 'preg-robbing'. The nominal grind was 80% passing 150 microns. An addition of sodium cyanide of 1.6 kg/t and Lime of 3.9 kg/t were used. Using pre-aeration and 48 hours leach time, the following results were obtained:
The feed to flotation was not analysed for copper, but the assay of the drill core delivered 4%. This suggests a high recovery of copper to concentrate, as would be expected.
Recoveries to concentrate were excellent, as would be expected from such high-grade feed and concentrate obtained, with low level of potential deleterious elements.
