RNS - 98% Recovery rate? Impressive:
Highlights:
· Combined gold recovery by gravity concentration followed by cyanidation leach extraction of the gravity tail averaged about 98 percent for both composites tested.
· Gravity Concentration: Feed gold recovery to the pan concentrate ranged between 58 and 59 percent for Composite 1 and Composite 2. Between 0.02 and 0.03 percent of the feed mass was recovered to the pan concentrates grading between 3,687 and 6,977 grams/tonne gold.
· Gold leach kinetics recorded for all tests at a nominal primary grind sizing of 75µm K80 were rapid, with close to peak gold extraction measured in the first sampling interval at 6 hours.
Commenting on this report, Chief Executive Officer of Landore Resources, Bill Humphries, said:
"These outstanding results, showing 98% recovery of gold using a simple combined gravity/leaching process, further supports our expectations that the exciting BAM East Gold deposit has the strong potential of low capex/opex costs amongst the lowest quartile of gold mining producers.
