Manica metallurgical results

2 Oct 2006 08:36

Pan African Resources PLC02 October 2006 Pan African Resources PLC ("Pan African" or "the Company") Manica Project, Mozambique Update on metallurgical test results forming part of pre-feasibility study Pan African Resources PLC (AIM: PAF), the African based gold explorationcompany, announces the results of the metallurgical work completed on the FairBride prospect within the Manica Project, where the company is completing apre-feasibility study on an opencast mine. Highlights • Overall gold recoveries from the upper oxide zone is 90% through normal cyanidation • Overall gold recovery from the lower sulphide zone is 86% through a combination of flotation, BIOX(R) and normal cyanidation • Further optimisation test work is currently underway Scope of work The mineralised envelope at Fair Bride can be divided into an upper oxide zone(weathered) and a lower sulphide zone (unweathered), both of which are beinginvestigated to be mined from surface. Traditionally gold recovery in oxidezones is more easily achievable than in sulphide zones where the gold is oftenlocked up within sulphide minerals. However, in recent years, efficient andeffective gold extraction has been achieved from sulphide zones throughadditional extraction processes. With this in mind the company engaged the BIOX(R) division of Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") to carry out metallurgicaltest work as part of the pre-feasibility study. Work completed Oxide zone - A 10kg representative oxide sample was submitted to SGS Lakefieldin South Africa. The sample reported a recovery of 90.12% as a result of normalcyanidation. Sulphide zone - A 500kg composite sulphide core sample was submitted to SGSLakefield in South Africa for laboratory flotation test work and a 10.17kgconcentrate was produced therefrom for BIOX(R) test work. These tests resultedin gold dissolution recoveries with some tests as high as 93% and an overallrecovery of 86% through a combination of flotation, BIOX(R) and normalcyanidation. Work currently underway Pan African together with the BIOX(R) division of Gold Fields are currentlyfinalising a conceptual metallurgical flow diagram, preliminary equipment listsand order-of-magnitude cost estimates for the treatment of the mineralisedenvelope as part of the pre-feasibility study. These cost estimates will also beused in the engineering assessment of an opencast mine which is ongoing. Jan Nelson, CEO, Pan African, commented: "The Company is very pleased that thework completed indicates that the metallurgical results at a basic stage withoutoptimisation are excellent. High recoveries such as these are paramount to thesuccess of any mining project. The Company expects to report on the initialresults of the mine engineering study on the viability of an opencast mine inthe near future and expects to complete, on time, the pre-feasibility studybefore the end of 2006. The exploration programme at Manica to locate furthermineralised zones along strike from Fair Bride is well underway and severaldrill targets have already been identified."

Thegold in these sulphide ores is often encapsulated in sulphide minerals whichprevent gold from being leached by cyanide. The BIOX(R) process destroys thesulphide minerals and exposes the gold for subsequent cyanidation, increasingrecovery rates. • SANAS - South African National Accreditation System. • Detailed copies of the individual metallurgical reports will be posted on the company website under: Manica - pre-feasibility study.
