EnviroLeach Technologies (ETI-Cse) Up to 96.8% Gold Recovery Process by Golden Predator Mining (GPY-V)
Feb 27, '20 - NR
EnviroLeach Technologies is pleased to announce the results of the 2019 field testing of EnviroLeach's environmentally-friendly process by Golden Predator Mining at their Yukon processing plant ("Plant").
Eleven test batches totalling 2.034 tonnes of sulfide concentrate from Golden Predator's 3 Aces project were processed in the Company's Secondary Recovery Unit ("SRU") during 2019 using EnviroLeach's patented formula. These 11 initial tests yielded an average of 93.17% recovery of gold with the final 5 test batches yielding an average of 96.8%. The combined tests produced 132.23 ounces (4.113 kg) of gold doré. These tests are a part of the ongoing 5 tonne high grade concentrate sample previously announced on November 12, 2019. These successful results reinforce the reality of cost-effective and environmentally friendly extraction of gold from sulfide concentrates using the EnviroLeach Process.
Janet Lee-Sheriff, CEO of Golden Predator states; "The test processing plant operation including the use of EnviroLeach's formula in the proprietary SRU are examples of Golden Predator's commitment to innovation while operating as a leader in environmental and social responsibility. The results from an alternative to cyanide in our batch unit SRU clearly show commercial opportunity in suitable projects and jurisdictions. When we received the successful results, it altered our course of work at the plant to focus greater time and energy on this new technology. We see commercial applications from this innovative development and expect to provide more information on these opportunities in the near future."
Background
Golden Predator operates the Plant to better understand the metallurgy of the varying types of mineralized material at 3 Aces and to establish better and environmentally friendly ways to process the mineralized rock. The Plant has now demonstrated the ability to recover both coarse-grained gold from a closed system gravity circuit and to extract gold from a sulfide concentrate in an environmentally conscious and efficient manner.
QA/QC Statement
The initial laboratory, pilot scale and production scale testing were successfully conducted at EnviroLeach's facility in Surrey, British Columbia prior to the on-site testing at Golden Predator's Plant. All tests were conducted under the supervision of EnviroLeach and/or Golden Predator personnel. The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jeff Cary, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an employee of the Company.
