SGS Lakefield Ontario conducted testing on two samples of drill core from Edleston Main to determine potential gravity recovery of gold mineralisation
Up to 78.1% of gold was recovered from the 0.94g/t Au composite sample resulting in a 11.38g/t Au gravity concentrate, while up to 64.1% of gold was recovered from the 0.66g/t Au composite sample resulting in a 4.28g/t Au gravity concentrate
Metallurgical testwork program is being devised to test the amenability of mineralisation of both Edleston Main and Sirola Zone to a combination of gravity and cyanide leach in order to determine potential overall metallurgical recovery of gold
