    Alacer Gold Corp. (TSX:ASR,ASX:AQG) announced that it has commissioned its Sulfidization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening (SART) facility, and last week was able to ship 115 wet tonnes of copper concentrate to Istanbul’s Metalkim smelter.

    Alacer Gold Corp. (TSX:ASR,ASX:AQG) announced that it has commissioned its Sulfidization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening (SART) facility, and last week was able to ship 115 wet tonnes of copper concentrate to Istanbul’s Metalkim smelter.

    As quoted in the press release:

    Full chemical commissioning of the SART plant was achieved in the third quarter of 2014 on schedule and on budget. The plant began batch processing of heap leach barren solution to remove copper in solution to grades below 200ppm copper in order to control reagent consumption. Revenues generated by the recovered copper in concentrate are expected to offset the operating costs of the plant. The plant is designed to provide 94% copper recovery and, produce at an average rate of 3.30 tonnes of copper per day when in operation.

    Rod Antal, CEO of Alacer, said:

    Successful commissioning of the SART chemical plant and delivery of its first saleable concentrates to market is another step forward in increasing our cabilities at the Çöpler Mine. The plant is operating within design parameters, removing copper from solution which aids in managing operating risks associated with reagent consumption and gold recovery.
