METALLURGICAL TEST RESULTS AT NTIOLA INDICATE EXCELLENT GOLD RECOVERIES ACHIEVEABLE THROUGH CONVENTIONAL CARBON-IN-LEACH
Exceptional metallurgical results indicate that Ntiola mineralisation is highly amenable to conventional carbon-in-leach gold extraction at the Morila Gold Treatment Plant. (HINT HINT!)
"Material from Ntiola would be
amenable to processing through the existing facilities at the Morila Gold Mine and the Company is confident that additional test work will further optimize recoveries and refine the processing parameters for Ntiola"
"a robust gold mineralised zone
amenable to open pit mining and subsequent treatment at the existing Morila Processing Plant"
"metallurgical test work results demonstrate that
high gold recoveries can be achieved utilising the nearby Morila Processing Plant"
"The Company is currently
finalizing the preliminary social and environment survey reporting at Ntiola and along a potential
haul road route to the processing facility at Morila"
Gold recoveries of
98.4% in oxide material.
Gold recoveries up to
96.5% in primary material.
High proportion of gravity recoverable gold (up to 64.2%).
Highly encouraging Bond ball mill work index results, average 12.4 kWh/t, show only medium hardness and
excellent grind properties for Ntiola primary material.
Suggests potential for
low operating costs.
Low reagent consumption for all material types.
Preliminary socio-economic and environmental studies
well advanced.
