Excellent Recoveries at Séguéla Gold Project
According to the Roxgold update on the recently completed metallurgical test work program, together with a development update at its new development asset, the Séguéla gold project located in Côte d'Ivoire demonstrated excellent Recoveries in Metallurgical Test work.
Completion of comprehensive metallurgy test work program indicating clean mineralized material with the potential for high recoveries and a potentially simple flow sheet. Program includes 1: High recovery rates of +94% based on a straightforward gravity/CIL flow sheet.
2: High gravity recoverable component with an average of 38% reporting to concentrate. 3: Preliminary Acid Mine Drainage test work completed indicating non-acid generating materials. 4: Moderate material hardness, amenable to standard comminution options, 5: Commencement of Preliminary Economic Assessment with completion expected in Q4 2019 & 6: Environmental Baseline studies and community engagement activities well advanced.
Preliminary operating and capital cost estimation process well underway. John Dorward, President and CEO commented, “The progression of the Séguéla Gold Project, the second development project for Roxgold, is advancing very well. The deposit at Antenna is simple and wide and the metallurgical test work program indicates the potential for high recoveries. The PEA process is off to a strong start and we look forward to tabling the results in Q4.”
