<< After 60 days of leaching with a cyanide solution, 61 per cent of the gold and 50 per cent of the silver were recovered. Pacific Rim has concluded, based on these results in addition to the results from the previous column leach tests, that the Oculto deposit would not likely be amenable to heap leaching. Metallurgical testing results do indicate however that Oculto mineralization would be a good candidate for standard CIP milling should development of the deposit be warranted. >> Doesn't sound good to me, but I'm not a mining expert? Anybody knowledgeable in this area have any comments on this?? How will it affect the economics of mining the deposit?
